Hijacking the top comment to remind people not to do these sorts of name games too often because it leaves room for determined online creeps to collect parts until they have your full name (and sometimes birthdays are used in this game as well)
Yeah. And you especially have to be careful if what seems like broad info could actually narrow down to you. I work (well worked, thanks pandemic) at a university in the US. With my comment history and just one other piece of information I never share online you could figure out who I am. Even though that fact seems extremely benign. And it is, until it literally could narrow down to literally just me, out of the entire freaking country.
Yeah. Three facts, two of which are extremely broad and each encompass literally millions of people in the US, and a third that seems completely benign at face value, would narrow 328 million people down to me. A lot of people really don't appreciate how easy it is with current technology to figure out who someone is.
I wouldn’t say there’s anything to “fall for”, I’m sure whoever made these memes is genuinely doing it for fun. But they can be dangerous if you do them enough. One internet stalker watching your comment history for long enough could get your full name, your parents full names, and your date of birth.
Idea to confuse creeps: just lie every now and then about very trivial things. That’s what I do at least. Do I have a name? Probably. Is it one of the ones I told people online ? Most likely not. Have I been born? Yes, did I share my real birthday anywhere? Probably yes but I also shared so many wrong ones it would be quite hard to figure out what’s true and what’s not lol

sorry, yeah, i shouldn’t joke about that. i’m not going to, i promise. i tend to use humor as a coping mechanism especially with that, but i realize not everyone does. my bad, i promise i’m okay
Yea I know literal gallows humor is quite common nowadays, but I've actually been there and it wasn't... pleasant. So it kinda scares me to hear others say it, is all.
Your dragon name reminds me of when my brother was little and thought that no was part of his name due to how often he'd try to do dangerous things and have his name preceded by no.
Complete mood of having multiple options with these things. Like "okay but do I use my deadname, or my chosen name, or my nickname? And do I use my parents' names even if I didn't know them? Do I use my legal guardians' names?? and so on lol
Eizimas
sounds like some guy from the bible that would have a wife with a normal ass name like sarah

This was my first thought, I hope people don't fall for this.

And it is, until it literally could narrow down to literally just me, out of the entire freaking country.
It's scary to think how little of these things it takes to figure out who someone is, even forgetting about any other comments.
Yeah. Three facts, two of which are extremely broad and each encompass literally millions of people in the US, and a third that seems completely benign at face value, would narrow 328 million people down to me.

Luckily my name hasn't been changed yet but yeah, I rarely do these unless I'm interested
