Alexandria Marie St. Claire Elizabeth Rose Summers. Sounds like a Mary Sue, but the name is real people.

I counted four different fictional characters in there. That's crazy.

Are you sure that's not an X-Men character?

If you were to count Confirmation names, I know someone whose full name is Emma Rose Elizabeth Ann Northridge.

This Troper's new fanfic is titled, "Running Through Swiss Territory for the Manipulation of Goods and Services".

This Troper has a classmate named Protopopicitoricescovici. Most people, including the teachers, call him Proto.

My late classmate and friend, Rasolofozafiniainirindraibe Narivony Eric. A great DeadpanSnarker, taken away too soon for a mere fistful of money.

This troper knows a Jose Armando Maldonado Cordoba.

This troper has a friend named Christopher James Patrick Francis Alexander Gustaf Ralph Charles Maxwell.

Subverted in a story this troper is writing, where the characters are battling a villain named Abbledabbledibblebibbleoppoulpuss XIII¾. (Yes, there's a fraction in there. Not the first villain in that arc with such an oddity, but it's acceptable because they're robots.) As the battle wore on, the heroes came up with the strategy of pretending to forget the villain's name, and making this known to the villain, so that he reintroduces himself--and creates a massive opening. He gets as far as "Abbledabbledibblebi—bble—op——pou———" before shutting down completely. I could've sworn I got the idea for that gag from somewhere else, but seeing as how this hasn't been mentioned, it must not have been anything copyrighted.

This troper has a friend whose family gave every child 3 different, exceedingly strange middle names eg Ghislaine, Raphael, Artemisia etc.

This troper knew a kid named Marcello Angelo Roberto Cornelius Santiago (Conjoined Lastname here) - everyone calls him Marc. Apparently his parents made too many promises to too many people about naming him.

This troper is not a particularly impressive example in terms of overly long names, but she was at least thirteen before she found out that most people only had one middle name compared to her two.

Same!

While not ''extremely'' long, this tends to happen when someone from a country that uses both surnames plus the normal two names happens to hit a particularly long combination. This Troper's is 8+9+7+6. At least my surnames're short...

This troper's maiden name was 8+7+8+5+5 (in syllables: 2-3-3-2-1). Upon marriage, she dropped her parents' surnames to become 8+7+8+10 (2-3-3-3). Wow, what a difference. However, due to an Embarrassing First Name, she is also considering a name change... the current frontrunner has five letters.

This troper's name has 30 letters, and I don't even have a middle name (I do have a surname though): 9+11+10, and in syllables: 4+5+3. People call me Alex.

One of the main characters in a story this troper is writing has two middle names, Christine and Arwen, making her full name 26 letters long. However, I justified it because her father wanted to give her a Tolkien-esque middle name and her mother wanted to give her a normal one, so they compromised, much to Aya's chagrin.

This troper's classmate has six middle names. She showed a xerox of her birth certificate to prove that she shat us not.

This troper's mother's name has 28 letters and a hyphen. Evidently feeling that this is too short, lots of people mispell it by adding an extraneous silent "h".

Not very likely to happen in this troper's country, because there is law that prevents people from having more than three names + surname.

And what's stopping people from giving their kids three very long given names? Especially when combined with a very long surname?

This troper and both his sisters have a first name, 2 middle, and a two-part last Dutch name. (5-4-5-3-4, 6-5-5-3-4, 5-3-5-3-4) Their father's name is so long the end of his last name is cut off his birth certificate, after his parents dropped a middle name. (10-9-7-3-4)

This troper has a very good friend who, due to very odd family happenstance, has one first name (which is masculine and 9 letters long), 3 middle names (all fairly short), a confirmation name and a Hebrew name (that were added to her birth certificate as extra middle names when her birth parents re-adopted her), and had every surname she ever had added to her name in honor of the people who had taken care of her when her parents couldn't (4 of them) plus her current surname. That's 11 names in all, not including the one middle name she had managed to talk her parents into letting her drop.

This Troper has an eight-letter first name (with an easy four-letter abbreviation, thankfully), and a hyphenated last name, each part of which has seven letters. One part of that last name (the last part) is a common American name, but the other part is a Croatian name that... well, let's just say that I can count on the toes of one paw the number of Americans who pronounce it right on the first try.

Again, while not exceedingly long, this troper has four names, at least two of which qualifies as "long-ish")

Though she has never met anyone with an OverlyLongName, This Troper has a ParodySue whose full name is (currently) 10 names long. She's not *exactly* a ''MyImmortal'' parody like the Fanfiction section of the article mentioned (though it's mentioned within the fic she's from, but that's beside the point), but it's in honor of the sometimes Sueish quality of the trope nonetheless.

This troper tends to name his posh characters in TabletopRoleplayingGames with Overly Long Names, including their titles. Three examples: Lord Arken Velderan d'Tharashk, Sir Reginald Brixton-Quispworth, KCB, and a gnome whose complete name I cannot remember, but it started with Ethelbert, and the rest of it acronymmed to V.A.S.H.N.A.B.E.S.H.I.N.

Had an RP character with eight names, including the surname. Her titles extended it further. Justified in that she was royalty. (Man, the relatives section was a killer.)

This Troper has three middle names, length 7+8+6+8+8.

This Troper's friend's friend's name takes the cake. It is Tigerlily [=AnaSofia=]-Fatale Ebrill-Danger Theodore-Lenin Avair Avele Stamoxys-Crimefighter Calloway.

I don't think you ''could'' make it up if you tried.

Nice, but no record. In Hawaii, we see longer than that quite often

"Crimefighter"?

First name: eight letters, seemingly impossible for most people to spell or pronounce. Last name: eight letters, seemingly impossible for most people to spell or pronounce. Middle name, on top of all that: nine letters. ''And'' this troper plans on hyphenating her name if she ever marries.

Don't do it. Just take his last name,

This troper has a first name (5 letters), second name (6 letters) , middle name (5 Letters) and two last names (The first has 11 Letters, the second 6). If the last name would not be Germanized would it be even longer (10 letters), and on top of that wanted this tropers dad to add even -more- names. Introducing yourself is fun though.

Three siblings in a story this troper is planning have full names that are 35, 33, and 33 letters long each. This is thanks to their ancestry, and each time I try to justify it or show my work their names just get longer.

This troper's full name is 31 (5+11+8+7, two first names) letters long. Seems to be nothing compared to the above though. *chuckle*

This troper acquired an overly long and nonsensical nickname one summer: Monica Lindsay Puppyhead Ichigo Sparta.

This Troper has a friend who's got a Dutch/French last name, the Dutch part including a von, so essentially broken up like 4-6-von-5-4 (2-1-1-2-2 in sylables) It was hard to not feel sorry for him when he had to write his name in Japanese, where by a quirk of the language the first and middle names both went to 3 syllables each. Even more fun when the school made a mistake and thought that "Von" was his middle name ><.

If it includes von, it's German. Dutch has van.

This troper's problem is that her first name will not fit on standardized testing booklets, so the proctor can't give her one until she comes up and claims the booklet labelled with the first half of her first name. To combat this, she shortens it to a six-letter nickname.

This tropers name has her name in syllables like 2-2-2-3. Not very many syllables, but it's a pain in the neck telling people how to spell it, with the first name being German (having about 4 spelling variations), and 3 other Scottish names.

Three middle names gets me 8+4+8+10+7 (syllables 4+2+4+3+2). They're all easy to pronounce, but I'm still thinking of dropping the 10-lettered one for various reasons.

My mothers full name is 11-5-8 and her last names (if you count 'De' as part of her last names) 9-7, or 11-5-8 De+7-De+5. My name is just 7-6 De+7.

This troper's convocation ceremony featured one person whose name was so long they had to use a smaller font on her name slip and it still took up two lines. Considering that convocation is already a lengthy event, this troper (graduating in philosophy) wanted to go say to her "How would it be if everyone did that?"

This troper once played a gnome barbarian in a Dungeons and Dragons game who had seventy names, one for each year of his life. I could recite most of them in one breath.

For this troper's rp, her runaway Prince had the full, offical name and title: His Royal Heir, The Crown Prince Somalutos Divinitis Of Our Fair and Beautiful Navarrez. Guy prefers to be called Soma.

This Troper's full name is 25 letters long. Plus, she has a total of 9 syllables. Not to mention she has an extremely common first name--with over a hundred possible spellings. On standarized tests, she gets almost all of her given name, all of her first surname, and only half of her second surname. And no middle initial at all.

This troper's real full name, while not as extreme as some of the examples on this page, is 9+8+6. Yes, 23 letters long, and only seven syllables for all of it. First, middle, and last. She doesn't dare use her last name outside of a form requiring the first initial of it, because everyone spells it wrong. And people are always misspelling her relatively uncommon first name. Ugh.

This troper's friend had to do a project about being a dictator. She had to come up with a name and title. Here's what it ended up being:

Lady Catherine Monica Eufrasie Izabella Raven Alzheimer Russel-Stover Ferberge von Wolfenstein the Third, Empress of Mim, Queen of the Seas, Princess of Rothecy, Duchess of Vacow, Grand Imperial Princess of Muscovy, Autocrat of all the Mims, Czarina of the East Sea, Kaiserin of the Africas, Archduchess of Coconutia, Marquise of Washington, Comtissa of Brandenburg, and Baroness of the Newt.

This troper has 30 letters in my whole name (7,7,16) with 10 syllables(2,3,5).

This troper's great grandmother's full name had 16 syllables.

This troper has six names, sixteen syllables, forty five letters. Two first names, one middle name, and ''three'' last names. That's right. My parents decided to give me both of their last names, even though my mother's last name was already hyphenated. I couldn't spell my full name until I was in seventh grade.

This troper's written a story in which individual members of a group form their family name systematically from the given names of both their parents... recursively. They do it as far back as the family histories will go.

This troper went to middleschool with someone who's name could well have belonged to a Gnome in dragonlance. It took nearly five minutes to say the whole thing. He doesn't remember anything other than Virgil Kamehameha, though.

Although not as lengthy as some of the examples here, this troper knows a guy whose only given name is fifteen letters and six syllables long. No one can pronounce it right on the first try.

This troper always thought that his name, which includes two middle names and a number (i'm of New England stock) was long. Reading this article has served to humble him.

This troper loved doing this for the subtitles of a story series he wrote; the longest and most random one he used was ''A Few English Muffins Short of an International Breakfast''.

This troper has a friend who married recently and went double-barrelled, ending up with an 18-letter surname. Apparently, when she told her bank of her new name, they were unsure whether it would fit on to a standard credit card. It does. Just.

Not comparing to many of the examples on the main page (that's why I put it here instead): In the Czech Republic, the contenders for the longest place name are "Nová Ves u Nového Města na Moravě" - 27 letters (translates as "New Village at New Town in Moravia"; the longest name if spaces are counted as well), "Brandýs nad Labem - Stará Boleslav" (originally two separate towns) - 28 letters, and "Hněvkovice na levém břehu Vltavy" and "Hněvkovice na pravém břehu Vltavy" (originally a single village named Hněvkovice; after split, the suffixes mean "... on the left/right bank of Moldau"; now both are a part of the town Týn nad Vltavou) - 28 and 29 letters, respectively. (The saying "As long as Lovosice" does not refer to the length of the name, but rather to its shape, since it's located along the river Elbe.)

Seems much less impressive with all the great examples above but this tropers girlfriends full name is "Michelle Natasha Bernadette Marie St.John Sibley". Of course, the St.John is pronounced Sinjin. You could choke someone with that.

This troper has a 29-letter full name (7,8,6,8). Her siblings come in at 27, 26, 24 and 28. She has long since stopped putting her middle names on anything less official than a passport, because there isn't enough space. If she has children, they will have a hyphenated surname on top of the family tradition of two middle names. Oh well.

Why hyphenate it?

In Brazil, most people have two surnames. Yet this troper knew people with three surnames (like his best friend, with a 29-letter name - 7,7,6,9 - 31 if you count a connective), and others with composite name ''and'' three surnames (worst offenders: former classmate, 40 - 5,9,6,11,9 - known by a slew of nicknames; and current classmate, 31 - 5,8,7,9,6, and she was shocked when the troper revealed to know all of it! - mostly known by a 5-letter long nickname), though a few were because the third was the husband's, like the troper's mother.

This troper once knew a guy named Gabriel Thelonious Laduzinski (27 letters, 11 syllables). Don't know if that's exactly Overly Long, but it's damn unwieldy. He was also one of the most beautiful guys this troper has ever laid eyes on.

This troper's full name is Marquis Ried Alan Alliot Hill. Add in fact that I'm a bit of a Large Ham for sheer fun of it and you can imagine how fun it is making introductions spoken really fast.

This Troper once knew a girl named Narantuyaa Sarangerel Christina Rodriguez. She was in several of my classes and had a bit of a freak out when our College success class had a project that required you to come up with a positive trait for each letter of your name. For the rest of the class, this maybe took an hour or two. For her, it was a nightmare assignment. Fortunately for her I had ample time to help her given that my first name is two letters long, my middle name is three and my last name is four. (I was done before the class ended.)

In this troper's early days of writing, she had a terrible habit of doing this. Entirely for the reason that she couldn't decide which name she liked best. There was a "demon" character that had pretty much every female name with the words "evil", "devil", "dark" and "demon" in the meaning that she could find. It was to the point that there were different spellings of the ''same name'' right next to each other. Needless to say, this troper's glad she abandoned said character...but she's perfectly willing to pull this on a future character entirely for comedy's sake.

When this Troper went to prep school in London, there was a girl who had a quadruple barrelled surname, her full name was - Ariana Katherine Craven-Milne-Burton-Smythe.

This troper knew a classmate named Elizabeth Maria Phillippa Benedicta Christine Ernestine, another name I can't remember, Meyers. And she was not an aristocrat.

This tropers name is Raoul Gerald Rudolf Rudolf Kunz, and yes, he has the Rudolf TWICE, his sister is equally bad off with Clara-Marie Margarete Erika Kunz. And all this preposterous piling of names in spite of beeing of utterly common descent...

This troper's cousin's name equals 4+9+6+8. This troper's brother's name equals 7+5+8. And this troper's name equals 7+9+8. I guess our parents like long names?

Inverted. This troper's full name is only 5 letters long.

When this troper first met his girlfriend, she told him about a friend of her father's with an improbably long name, which this troper doubted until he personally met Caius Julius Caeser Alexander The Great Man. Yes, one of his middle names is "The" and yes, his parents liked history a little too much. And yes, looked at a certain way, this troper is friends with The Man. (He goes by Caius, understandably)

Enforced by Philippine naming convention, which incorporates both parents' names: the mother's as middle name (usually shortened to just the first letter) and the father's as surname. Not as long as some examples, and short names do exist, but it's hardly unusual for someone to go around with two names, one hardly ever used - this troper being an example.. Hyphenated surnames are hardly in evidence, most of them usually occurring among women - and it should be noted that there's enough women who start off with a 'Maria' in their names that it often gets shortened to 'Ma.' in a lot of documents. Including this troper's mother.

Okay... this troper has always been teased for having an OverlyLongName, but mine totally doesn't live up to some of the ones on here. For the record, Catherine Ashley Dorothy Gartland Elmore. (People in high school and college couldn't believe I wanted all that on my diplomas. And yes, it does fit!)

My uncle's name is so long that not even he remembers all his names.

another troper with a rather long name... Rosalie Aroura Ann Winifred Moylan Kitchen. Not insanely long, but still a mouthful.

This troper's choir director has a kid named Theodore Eugene Carley IV (goes by "Tadd"). If you met her, with her fanciful ways, you people would be in shock.

My name is long compared to the ones of my family and friends thanks to my middle name, having 6+10+7+5=28. My cousin does have three names, making 3+5+8+7+5=28. I hadn't noticed that we had the same amount of letters in our names...

This troper's friend has a regular first, middle and last name. However, he also has a nickname that is 6542 characters long, excluding spaces. (The nickname also got locally published, as a poem.)

This troper has 4 names with 31 letters (5+7+13+6).
