“We call her Carrie, because of the carriage return.”
You can also try to give the child NULL as middle name for additional fun.
someone tried that with their license plate, it turned out well: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/

I just realized that the shitty software on the other side of the divide is casting
null
to ”null", which absolutely explains that issue. What a cluster
Na, names are about pronunciation (how you call someone). Written letters are an approximation of that. You can’t pronounce a newline, so there’s that.
Just crouch down to simulate moving to a lower line.
John <crouch> Doe
Apparently no-one did it yet, so I’ll name my child +++ATH0
Ask Robert’); DROP TABLE Students; 's mum how it went.
Frontend devs hates this guy.
Still better than Jennifer Null I guess
C programmers would ask whether a null-terminated name would be acceptable
why settle for \n when you can go for the stylish carriage return
Be funny as fuck if Canada started extradition procedures when he landed
Can I kill someone who wants to do this? How do I legally get away with it?
Not legal in Sweden. Our “IRS” must also accept the name and deem it legal.
I for one like this. As it stops some very stupid people to name their children some very stupid names. Such as “Adolf Hitler”.
And yes. Someone did try to name their child this and they were appropriately stoped from doing it.
Should have went with Adolf Olivernipples
ugh literally 1984
Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.
Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada’s indigenous written characters are so cool. :D
But also, it’s gotta be neat having a name among your people, that “the state” has nothing to do with…
Anyone remember when Chrome had that issue with validating nested URL-encoded characters? Anyone for John%%80%80 Doe?
It’s impossible to represent that on paper. It could be misrepresented as a specific number of spaces. Depending on the position on the paper, it may also be hard to tell if the carriage return comes with the line feed. Unless you want the document to be in ASCII or EBCDIC hex, it’s like writing an ambiguous math problem where the answer is different depending on how you were taught about the order of operations. Don’t do this to your kid, Abcde.
No, cause “John\nDoe” messes up my regex. Sorry, out of the question. I’m not good with regex.
