First it seems. While searching I found some reddit posts in AITA about parents who wanted to stop their wifes from naming their kids after disney characters. Even if most of AITA is probly just stories it must have a seed of truth in it.

You named your kid briar? Typically that's reserved for pretty dark charecters. Take Yor Briar:
By day a ditzy mother. By night a murder mommy that's ice cold and will shank your ass. I'm just saying, you kinda.... kinda cursed your kid.

Disney would fucking love this. People waiting in line aren't browsing gift shops. Or how about combine these ideas and every $50 you spend at a gift shop or restaurant lets you swap out one attraction reservation for another?
I'd love to see the breakdown of in-park spending revenue vs. ticket sales. I know from one of my friends that used to work for Universal that the alcohol sales during Halloween Horror Night are like a third of all the revenue they bring in from the event.

All weebery aside briars are weeds. Prickly, pokey, tangling weeds, that frequently kill grazing animals such as sheep in order to keep the soil underneath them fertilized. They also choke and kill any other plant they grow into contact with.
Who the fuck names a kid after something like that?

Speaking of terrible newborn names given by Disney Adults... back around 2020, a reddit-browsing disney couple tried to name their baby girl "Captain Phasma" after a lame Disney Wars character.

They received backlash from not just some redditors, but even their own extended family called them idiots for doing that to their newborn. I still can't wrap my head around all the times dumb parents tried to name their kids after fucking cartoon characters, but imagine naming your kid "Cap'n" and thinking said kid's life won't be an embarrassing mess.

Though the parents-to-be think the name is strong, friends and family members think otherwise.

Sometimes I wonder if the names would be that bad if the parents just didn't admit that they were "Inspired by Disney".Speaking of terrible newborn names given by Disney Adults... back around 2020, a reddit-browsing disney couple tried to name their baby girl "Captain Phasma" after a lame Disney Wars character.

"Kiara" just means "Light/clear" (and coincidentally, also, "cockatoo")
Ursula bit rougher, but not nearly as bad as it would have been in the 90s.

I feel like theres definitely levels to how far down the disney adult rabbit hole someone goes. I know a couple of them but its contained to doing their honeymoon at disney land and only really watching disney/marvel stuff. Then theres retards like this who willingly fuck up their credit score for shit like this.

Anyone wanna make an edit of this for Disney adults? This seems more apropos than an iceberg and I'm terrible at making these kinds of things.

Sadly agree. A good credit score isn't hard to achieve, just make purchases you know you can pay off, and keep them relatively small. It's a slow but surefire way to get your score up, which will help with the big things like car loans and mortgages. Unfortunately when you're buying this worthless, unaffordable Disney jewelry, you aren't paying it back soon

Names come with expectations whatever we want them or not. This isn't all powerful of course, many names have changed their images by new people who have them but an unfortunate name can still be unnecessary obstacle. Disney has somewhat positive image but in happy childhood way. Basically if it's Disney it's childish and immature. That ain't something most people want to be seen as even as kids. Of course many names have multiple different connections in public eye and that I think is key if disney association is something you need to hide from.
If it's a common name like Anna or Peter I think it's fine to admit the disney connected. The names aren't embarrassing by themselves and are given all the time for various reasons from deeply personal to trivial so a silly reason isn't going to do much. Don't make a big deal about it but you don't need to hide it either. Something like: Yes it's picked from the movie we like because why not? Everyone knows how to spell it and it has extra good vibes for us.
If it's unusual but not obliviously connected to disney, just don't talk about disney. Just bullshit something about wanting a name that stands out, is connected to the sun or even just sounded nice. You don't want form the disney connection to the name because there aren't many other connections to fight it. If someone points it out, just play dumb. What a funny coincidence, I guess someone else liked the name too.
If the name is unusual and clearly connected to disney, just pick something else. The jokes are going to get old fast and it will hard to form your own social image against the huge cultural phenomenon. The kid is likely to need a nickname or funny pronunciation if even that works. There is a good chance your kid will hate their name and think you're a complete moron. So don't take that change.

I've seen way too many posts of Disney adults outright confessing to using student loans to fund their trips to Disneyworld/land and extravagant cruises to believe any of them have good or even average credit scores. Ridiculous spending is a requirement for one to be a Disney adult. Unless they're either extremely wealthy to begin with or get nearly all of their Disney paraphernalia secondhand from thrift stores and garage sales, they're absolutely in debt.

I'm so glad my dad is a spend thrift, taught me well. You got to be careful with credit scores. Like it or not that's how you get the big boy loans, and not just that, expand how much money you can spend on unexpected purchases, such as a emergency car repair. A credit card is a tool not to be treated lightly. Student loans doubly so. Buy your merch second hand, thrift stores, eBay, and other such places if you really must.

It’s a joke, but I fully expect Disney to open this branch of business when the Disney adults start dying.

Clearance sections are your friend. Especially if you don't want to buy secondhand. Everything goes on clearance eventually. There are also places like the Mattel toy store in Middleton, WI that sell "damaged" goods. I put "damaged" in quotes because most of them just have beat-up packaging and the product itself is perfectly fine.
In all honesty, I'd struggle to class someone who has a massive collection of mostly secondhand Disney merch as a Disney Adult. Part of being a Disney Adult is urgency. They need everything new the instant it comes out. By the time something goes on clearance, there's something new that they need to have.
