Haha! Oh how weird. Yeah, there are lots of repercussions that make me hesitate. Such as, what if aliens get a hold of the list, spend eons translating it, then decide that I was one of the unbaptized and need to have a ceremony? Or if they like my name so much they name a solar system after me that later becomes a black hole which swallows the entire universe? How would I live with baggage like that? I guess as long as they don’t build a time machine and return to eat my family I am okay with it though.
