if you're working in comms/pr and your name is Jeffrey Epstein, you would have already changed your name to Butch Jenkins or Claude Hamworth by now.

To be honest, if you want to get a lot of advertising, it's a pretty good publicity move. You're taking about it.

On the other hand, being an expert in crisis PR makes you the person most qualified to deal with being named Jeffrey Epstein in 2025

I think I would be tempted to change my name or go by a nickname/middle name if I shared my name with a globally infamous pedophile

I would be very impressed if someone could actually redeem a tarnished name.
Like I would think the ultimate insult to Adolf Hitler is to divest him of any connections to this world, which would include the name becoming usable again, because it doesn't belong to him anymore. But this is lib theory hours and doesn't really matter that much.
It’s not a terrible concept—historic baddie, name 30% of the next gen the name “to remember” treat being named that as an honor, or something. Dunno the kids named it would probably hate it. But Jeff Epstein has gotta be a pretty common name so feel bad for the poor schmos who got stuck with endless jokes and weird looks for the next 20 years.

I don't think it'd work in practice. We definitely shouldn't force it on kids tho' cause like there's always name change, but even then it's eh. It doesn't address the issue at the root level.
In theory we could do like, Metal Gear style plot, where we (with consent) turn someone into a "clone" of historical mega baddie. Then make them go on stage and issue an apology, form the new realest and most principled socialist party.
What am I even typing at this point.

Haha I don’t know man, but I’m there for it. If you knew you would’ve cloned and humiliated and forced to do things you hate it might actually be some mild deterrent lol

I was gonna say Adolf Hitler Uunona seemed to be doing ok, but it turns out he changed his name just this year to... Adolf Uunona. Baby steps I suppose. Give him another few decades and he'll be Heinrich Uunona.

I hear Adolf Hitler isn't taken. That one would probably be a net gain in popularity these days, at least in the US.
What are you, some kind of quitter? You've gotta take the name back by becoming even MORE famous. If you're not willing to get out there and commit some horrors beyond human comprehension to win the infamous battle, you probably don't deserve your name anyway.

the epstein drive in the expanse immediately comes to mind, with the obvious joke that it gets you to the nearest school really quickly
