Overly Long Name: Difference between revisions

Line 54:

* Aram from ''Meru Puri'''s full name is Astale Ei Daemonia Eucharistia Aram.

* "Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade" aka {{spoiler|"Shinobu"}} from ''[[Bakemonogatari]].''

* The general mechanics behind the naming of [[Digimon]] mean that falling victim to this is both easy and common once they reach [[Evolutionary Levels|the higher levels]], or occasionally even before. A common tendency is to add a prefix word to a name to modify it for a new evolutionary form, possibly the most famous example being [[Digimon Adventure|MetalGreymon]]. Some prefixes even stack onto each other to signify variations and counterparts, such as adding "Black" to make a probably-evil Virus variant. Some of the longest examples are BlackMetalGarurumon, [[Digimon Frontier|ShadowMetalKabuterimon]], MetallifeKuwagamon, [[Digimon X Evolution|DexDorugoramon]] and, most hilariously, [[Digimon World 2|ChaosBlackWarGreymon]]. The recent [[Digimon World DS|set of]] [[Digimon World Dawn Dusk|DS RPGs]] [[Up to Eleven|couldn't even fit a majority of Digimon names in the space allotted for said names]]!

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'': Usagi "Small Lady" Serenity Tsukino-Chiba.

Line 228:

* Mo from the [[Eddie and The Gang With No Name]] trilogy could count. Her full name is Mary Agnes Catlin Delores Assumptia O'Riorden.

* [[The Bible]] has Isaiah's son Maher-shalal-hash-baz, which is both the longest name and word in the Bible. And somehow there's [[wikipedia:Mahershalalhashbaz Ali|an American actor with that name]].

* In [[Larry Niven]]'s ''[[~~Ring World~~]]'' novels, the City Builders and their client races such as the Machine People have names five to six syllables long. Examples include Halrloprillalar, Valavirgillin, Laliskareerlyar, Arrivercompanth, Harkabeeparolyn and Kawaresksenjajok.
