I was concerned that the author might have been running into the Scunthorpe Problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem).

My last name contains a naughty substring. I feel for the author and their hyphen!

Or similarly a clbuttic mistake (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clbuttic).

That used to be a mbuttive problem.

I couldn't make changes to my USPS (United States Postal Service) account for years because it kept flagging my last name, "Cunnie", as an obscenity.

I used to have that problem but it has not been an issue since the early 2000s.

I ran into it about a year ago with Verizon. No Dickinsons allowed! Sadly the only FTTH around, so I had to have support give me permission to have my name.

I can vaguely imagine how someone would _think_ its a good idea (it's not, to be clear) on a website where users might see other users' names, something like CRM SaaS. I can't understand how anyone would think that validating users' real names on a purely customer-facing website is a good idea. Maybe frustrated customers (can't imagine why) have names like FuckVerizon on their account?

„ear“? „ar“?

I’m starting to think Bruno has been lying to us about being a bear all this time
