In re names - I remember hearing about a local man whose last name is O. Just O. Which causes as much of a problem as the too-long names (and, yes, The Story of O is always full of pain).
Sex with robots is more common than most people think.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still want to change my last name to de la O !. Coworker over the cube wall thinks I'm mean, and yeah, I am. But I have zero sympathy for database design. Given that I'm already fighting default capitalisation, why not go whole hog?
Right, because my father likes having the same surname as me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I look at my address book, and there's one O and at least 50 P last names.

Story regarding names from back in my college days:
The mother of a girl I went to college with was from an old, upper class Spanish family. Her father wasn't. Being in America, she used an English-friendly version of her name but could, on occasion, pull out her Spanish geneology of a name. Once she was browsing through a store and was in the silverware department and a VERY pushy salesman seemed to think she was looking for something for a wedding registery. He pushed and she was as politely noncommital as possible. Finally, he told her that if she registered with them and got her wedding silver from them, they'd engrave her initials for free. At which point she asked him, "all my initials?" and he, getting a clue that there was something up, asked her what her name was. At which point she rattled off the ENTIRE name, which shut him up.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am intrigued! I know your first name means "princess"...
Middle name is Hebrew for "bound" and last name is German for "farmer," more or less. So... princess bound to farmer.
Want cupcakeses, preciousss.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm posting from my bed. Harvey is lying on my tummy. Sammie is lying next to us by my knee. A little while ago I thought about leaving to run some errands. And then I decided that the most important thing I can do is to be here now.
I might regret the things in life that I have not acchieved but I will never regret living in this moment.
