this is certainly a take

is there any country that allows digits in human names?
@whitequark uk, but they're transliterated for passports
@tef @whitequark Smoneth is amazing
@steve @tef @whitequark old webcomic joke about a robot named 5er0, pronounced "Vernon" (5 = roman V, 0 = "none")
@steve @tef @whitequark But my name is actually Sm17h, should I spell it as Smonesevenh or Smseventeenh?
@tef incredible
@whitequark meanwhile ICAO suggests any numbers should be in roman numerals, like "John Doe III"
@tef @whitequark unappreciated details in Seven Mary Three’s origins
@tef @whitequark How can they be so sure those are cardinals and not ordinals? I suspect Mary Smfirstth doesn’t like having their name mangled
@tef @whitequark Arabic speakers often use numbers when transliterating sounds not in English
@argentumcation @tef @whitequark That’s a new generation thing, used mainly for writing Arabic words using an English keyboard. Arabic names don’t have numbers though.
