      Your name can be in a dictionary for preschoolers and people will still spell it wrong 🙋🏻

      This makes me wish someone would start an artisanal custom-manufacturing setup for all of those tourist keychain and mug things. How hard could it be..

      Custom, on-the-spot name-keychain making exists! Interesting question: why hasn’t it replaced the racks of readymade stuff?

      Fixed costs versus variable costs? And economies of scale derived from using centralized production?

      Also the places that sell those tend to be kitschy tourist shops full of cheap crap that don’t actually care about us name weirdos :(

      don't you think that they'd care about expanding their TAM if they could do it for the same cost?

      If name-branded stuff were their primary thing, yes. But those stores have plenty of generic stuff too that is probably majority of sales.

      Do you really think they wouldn't try to make more money if they could? Why turn away, I don't know how broad the tails are, but probably a solid few percent of customers?
