Imagine having a full name less than ten characters.

My full name is only 3 characters but that's pretty normal for Chinese people.

It's a pretty common thing in the West too.

imagine having a wacky name like "zack hoyt" and choosing to go by a 2004-esqe internets handle like "asvromestronalth" instead of just deleting some letters from your name and going by the cooler "zoyt"

Zackrawrr was his original handle where he was uploading videos of him in high school.
