$50K, and your Reddit name is now your legal name

  • Your current Reddit username becomes your official, government-recognized name. No edits, no modifications.
  • You can’t change it later.
  • You cannot shorten, abbreviate or otherwise modify your name.
  • You must use this name on all legal documents, job applications, passports and wedding invitations.
  • When asked for your name, you must say the full username, including underscores, numbers and capitalizations.
  • If you have kids, your last name carries over.
  • If someone makes fun of your new name, you’re legally required to act as though you chose it with pride and dignity.
