deutschblut (10/21/2015) [-] I like how in America you have the Freedom to have whatever name you want.
But then social security and motor vehicles and so on will tell you they won't accept your name.
Me and my kids all have like 35 character names. Not really all that bad. Just four names.
My favorite is Alexander Siddig, who played Dr. Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Full name:
" Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdul Karim El Mahdi"
One uncle is the Prime Minister of Sudan. The other is Malcolm McDowell!
Lazypedia- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Siddig
Of course there is Jack Bauer. Played by "Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland"

sphincterface (10/21/2015) [-] How do you think of a name like that? Did they just smash their face into a keyboard repeatedly and just go with it?

pharoc (10/21/2015) [-] Almost all small towns or villages in Wales is named from a description of it, which sometimes can get slightly out of hand.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch actually translates to "Mary's house in the hollow of the white hazel rapid whirlpool at the church of the red cave." Which, while slightly ridiculous, explains how the name came to be.

megatrollinator (10/21/2015) [-] That's not even the longest Single World Place Name in the entire world.
Wanna find the longest, look at New Zealand.

lordlolland (10/20/2015) [-] Yeah, have you seen Maribo lately? Half, if not more of the shops have closed since 2008...
The only large town that is even remotely coping is Saxkøbing, and even then they have lost more than 3 shops.

lordlolland (10/21/2015) [-] I said that "Playing "Spot the Christianianite" isn't fun when you make it so easy."
I was referring to your opinion being similar to that of the unwashed hippies of the "Free Town" Christiania.

anon (10/21/2015) [-] You might want to know the story behind the name...
"A pub in Salla was named Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsi-baari after this bog region. According to an anecdote, the owner of the pub tried two different names for it, but both had already been taken. Frustrated, he registered the pub under a name he knew no one else would be using. The pub also had the longest name of a registered commercial establishment in Finland. The bar was in practice known as Äteritsi-baari. The pub was closed in April 2006.
The etymology is not known, although the name has been confirmed as genuine. Other than jänkä "bog", it does not obviously mean anything in Finnish, and was probably never intended to be anything else than alliterative gibberish." -wiki
