John\0Doe will fuck with all C (and C based derivatives) software that touches it.
Nah, it will end up simply as "John" in the database. You need "John%sDoe" to crash C software with unsafe printf() calls, and even then it's better to use several "%s"
C and C derivatives will be fine unless they're fucking up encoding.
Which rarely, if ever, happens. Especially with US software.

I really can't even begin to properly explain this because it's just so many layers of intuition. No, you absolutely cannot have a line break in your name. That's not a letter. That said, I'm fully prepared for someone to give me an example of some writing system that uses line breaks for unique purposes apart from spaces.
Chaotic neutral response: A line break is just white space.
Most languages use white spaces
its not just a white space. Sometimes it entails a white space, when theres still space on that line. Sometimes it does not.

Anyway, you probably need to put a backslash before it to indicate line continuation.
But wouldn't it be better to use something more traditional, such as ?
HTML is more traditional than \n?
True, poor choice of phrase.
But I was thnking of something like
#define my_macro does not fit\
on one line
Am I allowed to include sql command words such as drop table in my child's name?
