No, cause "John\nDoe" messes up my regex. Sorry, out of the question. I'm not good with regex.

Can I kill someone who wants to do this? How do I legally get away with it?
Plead permanent sanity. If I was the judge I would let you go.
Thanks bro
I gotchu
Na, names are about pronunciation (how you call someone). Written letters are an approximation of that. You can't pronounce a newline, so there's that.
Just pronounce \n as a glottal stop.
But differently spelled names are legally distinct.
John
(long pause)
Doe
But something has to be written on the birth certificate and social security card, and that's what everything else will expect you to use. I think just due to technical limitations (e.g. of the printer/template for those things) it wouldn't be allowed, but I dunno about legally

Y'all need to learn how to sanitize your inputs!
A line break is a non-printable character. So it would only work in the scope of electronic storage. The minute it hits other media, the line break character is subject to how that media handles it’s presence, and then it is lost permanently from that step forward.
Plus, many input forms make use of validation that will just trim anything that isn’t a character or number, removing the line break character.
Be funny as fuck if Canada started extradition procedures when he landed
Not legal in Sweden. Our "IRS" must also accept the name and deem it legal.
I for one like this. As it stops some very stupid people to name their children some very stupid names. Such as "Adolf Hitler".
And yes. Someone did try to name their child this and they were appropriately stoped from doing it.
If only Sweden invaded the rest of the world instead of Russia... *le sigh*
I accept our new Scandinavian overlords. But I would rather have it be Finland.
Eh, if they went imperial they would be subject to imperial needs leading to all the usual imperial problems.
What, inconsistent units? /s
Should have went with Adolf Olivernipples
Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.
Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada's indigenous written characters are so cool. :D
But also, it's gotta be neat having a name among your people, that "the state" has nothing to do with...
Hello my name is JohnDoe. My name only contains Latin characters, no spaces allowed.
Ah, but you see, "John" and "Doe" are two names - first and last - and when you say "My name is", you're really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!
But then there's hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.
Could be..."Jondo" like, a mononym hahaha.
"John Doe" vs ["John", "Doe"] vs {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}

Good luck with that.
Most computer nayetems will trim the crap out of that name, the white spaces like space, tab, \r and \n will be gone by the time it's in the database
If elected president my first order of business will be to make all birth certificates fully unicode compatible.
