Reader Quinn says,
I saw a commercial for this in the middle of the night. It allows trans and non-binary folk to get a Mastercard with their “True Name,” not
their legal name at birth.
https://www.cardrates.com/news/mastercard-true-name-offers-cards-for-trans-and-nonbinary-users/
It occurred to me that “non-binary” would also include those who identify as
superheroes (or pretty much anything else), so Anthony Weiner could get
a card in the name of Carlos Danger, Mitt Romney could get a card as
Pierre Delecto.
It would be fun to apply for a Mastercard with a chosen name of Princess
Consuela Bananahammock or Crap Bag.
I was wondering what the other readers’ choice of name would be?

Well, firstly, I think this is desperation on Mastercard’s part because they know their card’s name is on the chopping block, because it’s “racist.”
Having said that, I would apply for a card with the name Woke Gobroke.

I don’t know if ID checking when presenting a credit card is still a thing as it was in the past; I sign the back of all my cards “See ID” and haven’t been asked for ID in years. Suppose POS terminals did away with that practice. But what happens when your “true name” doesn’t match the name on the license? Merchant declines the transaction and then gets brought up on diversity, inclusion, racist, and discriminatory charges? From the same people who say it’s perfectly okay to discriminate against someone in a store for not wearing a face diaper?

*Master* card…I think somebody else needs a True Name.

“Not My Money”
My brother and his Christian room mates when they all lived together in the mid 70’s tried to get their home phone number listed as Joy Tierza but ma Bell figured out that it would be listed as Tears of Joy and wouldn’t allow them to have that particular listing.

So, in this dumbed-down, Politically Correct, short-attention-span, screwed up world of fake labels, fake news and nitwits looking for Nazis, Klansmen and Racists under every bed, I’m scratching my head wondering shouldn’t it be called Massacard®
… and whut about a Slavecard® option for all of us in debt up to our collective asses?

“TRUMP WON” would be my Mastercard name, which is also my network name for the internet.
Heywood Jablowme? Art Vandelay?
“President Elect B Woodman” should work, get people’s attention, and still pass legal ID card inspection.

I always thought your true name was the one given to you at birth by your parents and not some made up name you want to be known by later. I’m happy with my name and not some of the nick names and other names I’ve been called by others over the past 68 years. I’m even happy with my middle name of Russell now, I wasn’t so sure of it when I was younger.

MASTERcard? Sounds supremacist doesn’t it.

Frank Omar Anthony Dye – or FOAD for short
I knew a couple of brothers who shared a townhouse in Toronto. Bell Canada used to allow both people an entry in the phone book when they shared a phone number. Brother #1 put his real name in the book. Brother #2 chose “Dinsdale Piranha”. They would proudly show off their phone book to all who visited them.
I want my real name to be “Exalted Ruler of the Galaxy” on my Mastercard.

Hunter Robert Biden would open a lot of doors at the strip clubs.
J. Biden Snifftripper esq. has some clout also.
I will use Prof. Larry Dickman WMD, from Des Moines.

I always liked Heywood U Buzzoff and Pickup Andropov, the Russian chauffeur from Car Talk on NPR’s Car Talk program with Click and Clack The Tappett Brothers. And Ivan Awfulitch the Russian Ambassador played by Wally Walrus from Woody Woodpecker.
@geoff the aardvark — Those Car Talk names are hilarious! My own favorite is the show’s statistician, Marge Innovera.
The world is circling the drain. I don’t usually watch much television as most of it trash. However, I do love Fast & Loud on Discovery. That is until about 30 minutes ago. I had a bunch of them on my DVR & had it on for background noise when that commercial was played multiple times. I had to back it up 3 times because I could not believe what I was hearing. So much for Discovery channel in this house.
So many good names to pick…..
I’d have to get a master card in Mrs. Nusbaums name.
I have the lesser known Slavecard.
