I strongly suggest UUIDv7, with our birthdate encoded as time.

Ordering the world population by birthday becomes so easy. Plus no endless discussion on wether or not we should use UUID as primary key.

People wouldn’t be fond of their name divulging exactly how old they are.

It's not a matter of being fond of, we're trying to be efficient here

I mean, it’s not hard to guess how old people are…

[layer8]

It’s hard for that guess to be accurate, though. Some people look ten years older or younger than they really are.

Yeah but think of the automated age discrimination during resume/CV screenings.
