How would you react if you met someone that has 100+ letters in their first name?
Maybe if their wasn't a computer limitation or confusion on how a more then 10 letter name is pronounced, then maybe it could be practical. But Computers and Paper documents alone only allow 10 letters in a first name. Computer softwares and websites just doesn't exceed 10 letters. 10 is the limit anything above that is deemed unpractical by society.

"But Computers and Paper documents alone only allow 10 letters in a first name." Computer software doesn't have an inherent 10 letter limit. The limit varies with the form. I believe passports have a character limit of about 40. The last form I looked at had a character limit of 45. As long as the first and last name are not both extremely long, it is unlikely to be an issue with most long names.
