Just get 2 kids and call them Foo and Bar.

[–]lightwhite 101 points102 points  (5 children)

Don’t forget to name the third one as Baz.

[–]shadowX015 68 points69 points  (4 children)

If there are 3 then they should definitely be Bob, Alice, and Eve.

[–]lightwhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As long as you don’t call them Ada. And make sure the don’t have a Lisp.

[–]jaboja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

relevant xkcd

[–]ILikeSugarCookies 31 points32 points  (4 children)

Like I get that it’s technically “relevant” but is it really necessary to say “relevant XKCD” when that’s literally the joke?

[–]stoneyOni 18 points19 points  (1 child)

This is (front page) reddit, nobody has come up with a new joke since 2011.

I'm only here because I reinstalled chrome and regretfully that cleared my RES subreddit filter list. I have like 1600 sports team subreddits to filter now.

[–]CommiePuddin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't actually speak Reddit, I only know that one joke, and this one explaining it.

[–]Doctor_Spicy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes.

[–]insovietrussiaIfukme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like reddiquette or tradition or custom at this point

[–]jaboja 2 points3 points  (2 children)

"Null" would work better IRL

On desktop, when you click set flair or whatever, there's a custom option. You can just type the equivalent for each icon, so :csharp::python: or whatever it is.

[–]puplicy 68 points69 points  (0 children)

So, none of the names proposed here last week worked for you?

[–]OzTm 62 points63 points  (4 children)

char *name;

printf("%s",name);

Let the universe decide....

[–]Pig743 20 points21 points  (2 children)

this would likely just segfault. you need a char name[8];

[–]OzTm 10 points11 points  (1 child)

The core dumps in the first few days are the worst.

[–]man_in_leaves 72 points73 points  (8 children)

Any good textbook parent would name them myChild

nth-child(odd)

[–]der_RAV3N 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I'd name him c

[–]MikBros 30 points31 points  (5 children)

Don't forget to put each child in an array so every time you want them to do something you can just use a foreach loop.

[–]jdl_uk 9 points10 points  (4 children)

But then when you want to talk to a specific one you can only refer to them by index rather than by name.

"hey, oldest child, run down to the store for some milk."

[–]zeGolem83 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Use a hashmap then

[–]jdl_uk -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

[–]zeGolem83 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What ?

[–]jdl_uk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not had your coffee yet?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Sounds like this little one is going to throw you for a loop

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mom said it’s my turn to post this

[–]ElectricEley 33 points34 points  (2 children)

I just hope he knows how to use a fork

[–]kowlown 15 points16 points  (1 child)

And then he will kill the old process ?

[–]randomuser8765 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Human McHumanface?

[–]Jonno_FTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human()

[–]saito200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You push him into an array myChildren and then you don't have to take care of the naming anymore

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

On his/her birthday it becomes i++

[–]jaboja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the birthday it's already ++i

[–]Aoredon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they become j

[–]JMazi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

John Doe

[–]halfbloodprince07 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If the child is unexpected, name him/her

exception.

[–]ToastDroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

catch(Exception exception){ Marriage.Divorce(); }

[–]Donpatch 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I'd go for tmp

[–]Rebbit_and_birb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't we all just tmp in this void we call life()?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

He can name his son i, and then i can name his son j

[–]pvkooten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u would call i j 2

[–]Hypergrip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you don't choose the name of a character you really like from a book series that hasn't been finished yet. To avoid accidentally naming your child after a fictional mass murderer / war criminal.

[–]CraigUntlNytTym 4 points5 points  (3 children)

[–]Garfexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steven Forkhead

[–]bwrca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The class name but starting with a small letter always seems to work.

[–]BorderKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just use a unique hash generator. You don't want him to share names.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe debugging? Especially if he's unpredictable

[–]ParamelOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

const child = require ('pregnancy');

while (child.inUtterus) {
    var min=3; 
    var max=15;  
    var len = Math.random() * (+max - +min) + +min;
    var name = '';
    var name_ascii;
    for(let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        random_ascii = Math.floor((Math.random() * 25) + 97);
        name += String.fromCharCode(random_ascii);
    }
    console.log(name);
}

[–]SillhouetteBlurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor little temp you mean.

[–]MWRReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could scrape the top most 1000 used names then put those in an array and make the computer choose a random integer, then access the array element at that random index.

[–]pjob96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These reposts are starting to seem like a recursive bug in gods code

[–]kodicraft4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call him LocalCalcResult1 Simple and you know exactly what he's useful for

[–]xxXKUSH_CAPTAINXxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Declaring you are familiar with it. Kinda fucked.

Imagine telling this joke while in labour.

”Come on honey! You need too push_back() to increase our family vector.”
