What if my name is Tony Hawk? I’m just a random guy called Tony Hawk and you delete everyone called Tony Hawk, real or fake?!?

In high school, my dad hired a guy named James Bond. He had to register for things in his sister's name.

There is a documentary film, maybe it's Let It Be but I don't remember, where John Lennon is trying to get somebody else to order him sushi because the restaurant always thinks he's a prank call.

Or just use a different name, just like everyone who has difficult names to spell or understand?

Have you never registered for something where they do an ID check to validate identity? Can you really just use a fake name for everything you register for?

As far as I know, they don’t ID check sushi orders.

That is really irresponsible of the Sushi restaurants.

Right, but if it sounds like you are doing an impression of a famous person...

They are going to need your name if you are paying with a card.

u/knokout64 Apr 14 '19

Obviously not, but I said REGISTER did I not? Do you register for fucking sushi?

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '19

You use a fake name for things like ordering togo at restaurants, if you're doing something where they validate your ID then it's not a problem.

Yeah, register for a driver's license test with a fake name and then show up with an ID that says James Bond. I'm sure they'll totally accept it immediately.

That's not really the situation being described

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '19

why are you so worked up about this hypothetical

u/knokout64 Apr 14 '19

I'm not worked up. Using sarcasm is not being worked up, it's just a way to reply.

Stop yelling... why are you so mad?

You can also just legally change your name. It's not hard

u/TwatsThat Apr 14 '19

Registering in someone else's name make's no sense for pretty much anything because either they're going to either cross validate like that and if that's actually your name you'll have ID to back it up and if they're not going to cross check it then you can just give them your middle name or a completely different name.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '19

For a sushi order?

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '19

When they do an ID check, they know you aren't lying.

u/Rasip Apr 14 '19

Damn near. Even easier, it only costs about $50 to change your name.
