So, there are people who have long names.
Names that can’t fit in a national identity card (ID).
Names that’s difficult to utter or sometimes to pronounce. The best is to shorten the name to call that person’s with long-winded word.
Can you imagine calling a person with a 14-word letter everytime? It can be exhausting and sometimes difficult.
Anyone who knows why some people or communities have very long words that they can’t even fit a row in a class register? I can imagine a teacher calling a student by his all names when marking a register. And the pupils being called have very long names.
One country that has very long names is Uganda.
I’m not sure who holds the title as having the longest name. This is the longest name according to Guiness World Book of Record.
“The longest name to appear on a birth certificate is for Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, born to Mr and Mrs James Williams in Beaumont, Texas, USA on 12 Sep 1984.”

I haven’t seen many people with very long names, most try to shorten their names in New Zealand
Also in my country people prefer shorter names.
I wrote down all my personal information. It contained 100 characters. This is more or less. I’m not from Uganda but from Bulgaria ..
I see. My three names sum up to 19 characters.
I might have to change my name if it were that long.
It is harder to call someone with a long name. I would change it too.
Mine is on the longer side, but that’s common here. A foreign friend once wanted to translate some sentences in google translate and he was impressed that all the sentences in our language were twice as long, haha.
That’s interesting. Some languages have longer sentences for small things.
It is sad for the kid though, such kids get mocked and bullied in schools
You’re right. The other kids will make fun of the kid’s long name.
names are but a handle that we use to hold onto faces in our memories.
Yes, it’s one way of identifying or distinguishing us.
i always wondered about parents giving kids really long names. i guess it is a choice!
Thanks God , I have very short name
It’s easier to memorize short names.
There’s a lady who named her kids Lemongelo and Orangelo. Yes, Lemon Jello and Orange Jello.
Hahaha…surely people are funny. I can’t believe she called her children those names.
