cr47t Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I hope this gets discussion. When will we run out of names? Do you share your name with someone famous? Do you know someone who does? etc. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 26 letters minimum, no max lengthWe actually can't run out They might sound "different" but they're still names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 1. In reality, I would probably say that we'll run out of (unique) names in a while, though factor in middle names and they're still unique for the most part. Although we can always come up with weird ones or borrow from other cultures. As far as YCM goes if one wishes to go that far, you still have an infinite amount of names to choose from (and to be fair, you can still use the same name as another member, but you'll have to make adjustments to parts of it). 2. Pretty sure there's probably 1 or 2 other guys in this state with my name. I do know for certain that my first name is pretty common, and some others with last name whom I have no blood/familial relation to at all. Otherwise, I don't share my name with anyone of importance. 3. If I remember properly, one of my parents does share their name with another person, and that led to an incident some time before I was born (don't remember specifics, but something related to taxes and stuff). They got out fine on account of mistaken identity (government still hasn't apologized for their screw-up, or rather, didn't even bother to).

shadowsapex Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 This isn't a problem we should even care about. By the time a decent number of famous people share a name, we will have forgotten most of those people. People won't run out of names because people don't need unique names. As for usernames, running out hasn't been a problem for anyone yet and most websites won't last long enough to ever come close. By the time unique names become a problem for, say, Google, it will have been many decades and they could just delete inactive accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I personally think there is no limit to the number of names we can make, since 26 letter is more than we ever need....., and computer usernames also includes numbers and characters to increase the complexity and variety of names....to more than 1 trillion names.....But, many formidable and great names will be taken first by many others, that is why I suggest making your name unique to avoid multiple misunderstanding and misinterpretation Some names I created:Xfrixtando, Zendrixlo, and Xycronzorbyta, aren't household names right?

Aix Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 At first I read the title as "will we run out of memes", which is arguably more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 No we won't. Just like we still conjure up new slang words, we conjure new names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
