I will soon be finishing my undergraduate degree. My university has requested my "preferred name" to display on the diploma. I think it would be funny to submit "[my name], King of the Rats". I also intend to apply to law school within the next year. I have 2 questions:Are diplomas submitted in law/graduate school applications, or just records containing GPA and the like?
If yes, is it a real concern that doing this might hurt my prospects? I personally feel it is a harmless bit of self expression, but I could see the possibility that a recruiter considers it a sign that I'm not "serious".

Employers only look at what university you went to and maybe what notable companies if any(like FAANG) you worked at the same way foids don't read dating profile bios and only look at height and jaw size
