I mean, it means marijuana. not the name, but when you use it as a phrase. Thank goodness for the Mary Janes of the world that everyone knows their name doesnโt literally mean that, but they do still have to deal with jokes iโm sure (join the club, if people are 100% normal about you name I tend to assume thereโs something wrong with you (or your parents))
Never had anyone bother me about my name, at least not that I remember
Not going to share it here for obvious reasons, but never been a problem for me
only because they didnโt make sure to make the alien symbiote sign a soul-binding contract that says the alien canโt try to harm them directly or indirectly, or the symbiote dies!

Donโt the symbionts generally find it rather easy to get into someone?
for the venom symbiotes, iirc they do need someoneโs permission to safely stay in their hostโs body long-term, otherwise the personโs immune system will attack them(which either says that they have respect and need for consent coded into their cells(even if a lot prefer to just hop between hosts like some people change clothes), or that marvel characters probably shouldnโt have allergies cause they can just tell their immune systems not to attack food, if iโm not remebering that part completely wrong)

Yeah, humans canโt just tell their immune system what not to attack like that.
