HelpRe: How would you react if you met someone that has 100+ letters in their first name?
in reply to a message by Emezli
I haven't met anyone with a lot of letters in their name, but I think it's kinda fun to learn to say those names when they come up, like Mahershalahashbaz, which I'm probably spelling wrong and certainly can't say right, but I like to think its bearers would forgive me as long as I'm game to try.
I imagine they're rare around me, at least, because of the inconvenience they might represent on a day to day basis, including the potentially humiliating experience of not being able to fit where people need their names to fit. So when they're bestowed I'd give benefit of doubt for someone having thought they were special enough to bother with. Or maybe they couldn't have anticipated their kid would have to deal with forms or spelling their name out for people etc.
