I think they could have worse
If they are at all aware of the world in which we live they would have fallen down the same path anyway.
I think they would mainly hate it because it would infringe on their own self-identity. No one I know in real life knows my user name, and no one who knows my user name knows my irl identity. That would be the biggest problem.
Checked with my 15 year old daughter: 98% hate.
So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?
During early life, they'd like it. As teenagers they'd hate it. In their adult years they'd come back around to liking it again.
My kids call me Boursin Cheese because they couldn't pronounce my name (or chose not to)
They get what they give.
My kid would likely say I crushed it.
Hope mine like shitty candy!
What kids?
That really depends on their gender and orientation. I assume straight daughters would not be happy.
They're cool with it
Quite a bit, but it could be worse.
'Triple B' could be a decent, non horrible nickname, I agree, could ... be ... a lot worse.
Everyone can finally choose "dr." option when filling out flight ticket forms guilt free and probably fly free on Canadia Airlines at least once.
Not bad…. Not bad
It's alright, I guess, except that nobody in the family (myself included) like singing.
Eh, unless they don't like cute stuff I don't think they'd care lol
My username is a variety of my name. So less annoyed than the kids of Ladiesman217.
As long as I don't name them Steve then we're all good
Eh, it's pretty descriptive of me but I wonder if my kids would be the same. They'll be monotheistic, most likely at least, but yappy/argumentative is not a given. 🤷

well, I'm snipped so that's not a problem, but if we decided to for some reason adopt, they probably wouldn't love it. I wonder if tabbed browsing would ever go away and it would be a surname based on something that everyone forgets (there are more obscure examples but for example Cooper, Cobbler, Fletcher, Bowyer, Tyler, Taylor, Brewster, etc.)
They would be wondering whyiI haven't embraced the lifestyle, only adopted the name.
And they'd be mad about inheriting my poor vision.

As long as they find their own pocket rocks, I think we're peachy.
They wouldn't hate me at all.
Probably slightly less than they already do.
They better like pineapple
I imagine they would have a multitude of differing perspectives on it.
Hopefully they inherit the psychopomp job too and it is a career resilient to AI and self-driving cars. If Waymo works in the Underworld, they will be looking for new career options like every other Z and younger.
If they want the job, of course. I'm not one of those old school escorts of the dead that insists the kids follow in parents' footsteps.
I got mine from my grandfather anyway. Although I won't be having any kids to pass it on.
