HelpRe: How would you react if you met someone that has 100+ letters in their first name?
in reply to a message by Emezli
There is a big difference between a 100+ letter name and a 10+ letter name. Electronic documents that I've encountered permit more than 10 characters, and forms can be updated to accept more letters.
Personally, I find it easier to pronounce Bartholomew than to guess which pronunciation to use for Maia. Pronunciation issues have more to do with familiarity with the language of origin than length.
If people treat you like an a-hole, it may have to do with the time and place that you decided to make a point. If you go up to someone and tell them that they should change their name or their child's name because you find it unnecessary or burdensome to learn how to pronounced it, you are a jerk.
