Yeh, it was just a dumb troll.
But there's a list somewhere (I've looked for it, but can't find it) that someone had posted from within the game scripts, showed a list of names that would stand out in the game. And give some reactions from characters. Can't seem to find it again. Tried several search criteria variations, but still unable to locate it. Unless it was deleted for whatever reason. But I'm sure someone still has a copy somewhere. Had some pretty funny names in it.
There's Fuckface, of course, when you first name yourself.
There's Patrick, when you first meet Patrick.
There's Oscar, when making out with Tara on Halloween.
There's Lucky, when taking a bath with Jill.
There's Jody, when telling Neil about the throuple.
Then there's the last names you give Sage that also get a reaction.
Burke, Morgan, Morgan Burke, Burke Morgan, Roberts, Taylor, Bailey, Royce, and Burgmeister are all off-limits, seeing how they're the last names of the Main Girls (and Burgmeister is just so unlikely

).
Then there’s the last names of famous Neils: Armstrong, Young, Diamond, and Peart. There's also Steele, I guess because it rhymes? Apparently there is a Neil Steele Band, but doesn't seem too famous.
There's also Neil, as in your dad's name is Neil Neil

And last but not least, there's your MC's name, which would make you MC MC
I totally forgot, there's another unique reaction if your last name is Anderson—you share the surname of whoever cheated on the midterms. If you also cheated , Philip will call you "the other Anderson", and wonder if you're related.
