Overly Long Name: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' has Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri. And technically speaking she was supposed to add El-Melloi to that {{spoiler|before she got killed}}.

* A flashback chapter in ''Umi no Misaki'', showing how Kisaragi and Mike met, had a scene in which the one girl introduced herself as Satomi Keiko (she didn't yet have the "Mike" nickname, derived from Sato'''mi Ke'''iko). Kisaragi, [[Embarrassing First Name|who doesn't like her given name]] (Tamae), responded by rattling off as many names as "Lucy..." from [[wikipedia:Servant x Service/|Servant x Service]].

'''Keiko''': I'll just look at the name register!}}

* Speaking of which, there '''is''' Yamagami Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Ayano Tomika Chitose Sanae Mikiko Ichika... (it's implied there may be '''more''') from ''Servant x Service''. Her parents couldn't make up their minds, and a civil service official let it go through, for which Lucy wants to give him a piece of her mind.

 

* ''[[Dilbert]]''. Most notably Elbonians.

* In ''[[Garfield]]'', there is a character in a TV show called Gouda May Freegenweegenswallodribbenfraxenlaxenismabittle.

** Garfield himself lengthened his own name in one strip, resulting in Garfield Horatio III, Esq.

'''Garfield:''' ''(pointing at his resized food dish)'' Fill 'er up! }}

* In the ''[[Popeye]]'' comics, Swee'pea's real name is actually Scooner Seawell Georgia Washenting Christiffer Columbia Daniel Boom. "Swee'pea" is merely a term of endearment.

* The titular "Ugly" in ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]''. His full name is Tuco Benedicto Pací­fico Juan Maria Ramirez, "known as the Rat".

* The fake name Otto makes up on the spot in ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]'':

** Mrs. Leach not only takes this in stride, but indignantly addresses him as "Mr. Manfredjensenden" later on.

* ''[[Pippi Longstocking]]'': Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraimsdaughter Longstocking. Or her original Swedish name, Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump.

* ''Star Surgeon'' by Alan Edward Nourse has the character Dal Timgar, whose full name is unpronounceable to humans.

* Let's not forget Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, more commonly known as [[Land of Oz|The Wizard Of Oz]]. (Oz, because the rest of his name spells PINHEAD.)

** In the Polish [[Woolseyism|translation]] he gets even more names. The initials after "O.Z." actually spell ''three words''.

* Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian d'Anconia, the largest copper magnate in the world of Ayn Rand's ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]''

* ''Outcast of [[Redwall]]'':

"Oh, [[You Do NOT Want to Know|you don't want to know]]!"<br />

"Yes, I do!"<br />

* The Witchfinders in ''[[Good Omens]]'' tend to have ridiculously long names like Praise-Him-All-Ye-Works-Of-The-Lord-And-Flye-Fornication Smith and Ye-Shall-Not-Eat-Any-Living-Thing-With-The-Blood-Neither-Shall-Ye-Use-Enchantment-Nor-Observe-Times Dalrymple. Apparently this is an exaggeration of what used to be a common naming practice.

** Also, the name they call the Antichrist by in the hospital sequence. [[Played for Laughs]] here, and especially funny when it's repeated several times across a page.

** Funnier because he's being contrasted in that paragraph with two babies referred to only as Baby A and Baby B.

* The heroine of ''[[The Ordinary Princess]]'' is named "Amethyst Alexandra Augusta Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne". She prefers to go by "Amy".

** Or Leela's given Time Lord name: Lady Leelandredloomsagwinaechegesmia

** Romana's gets lampshaded early on:

'''Doctor:''' Good. Come on, Romana. }}

* [[Star Trek: Voyager|Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01]]. Although it's technically her designation, not her given name, which is Annika Hansen. She chooses to go by "Seven", though.

* In ''[[Tales from the Afternow]]'', everyone's name has their company, job title, IP address range, given and family names, and number of life extensions (i.e., how many times their life has been extended by artificial means, including - but not limited to - cloning, cybernetic augmentation, and genetic manipulation). The end result is names like "Independent Librarian Dynamic Sean Kennedy the Sixth".

* Tim Wilson's 'Nascar Song'

* A camp song: "Hagdalena Magdalena Hootensteimer Watenheimer Hogan Logan Mogan was her name!"

* [[Voltaire (band)|Voltaire]]: Riding a Black Unicorn Down the Side of an Erupting Volcano While Drinking from a Chalice Filled with the Laughter of Small Children!

* ''Chrononhotonthologos'', a 1734 satire by Henry Carey. The opening lines go:

''Where left you Chrononhotonthologos?'' }}

** And that isn't even the play's full title. It's ''The Tragedy of Chrononhotonthologos: [[Redundancy Department of Redundancy|The most tragical tragedy]] [[So Good We Mentioned It Twice|that ever was tragediz'd]] [[Rule of Three|by any company of tragedians]]''. Any actor who can say both his name and/or his line in one breath, without tripping over his tongue deserves a medal.

* There's a scene in ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]'' where most of Cyrano and Christian's fellow soldiers are introduced to Roxane:

De Blagnac-Salechan de Castel Crabioules..." }}

** It's even [[Lampshaded]] in the next two lines:

'''Baron Hillot''': Scores! }}

* Lampshaded by Joan of Arc (La Pucelle) in Shakespeare's ''Henry VI, Part 1,'' Act 4, Scene 7:

Stinking and fly-blown lies here at our feet. }}

* In Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical version of ''[[Cinderella (film)|Cinderella]]'', the three members of the royal family all have absurdly long names, the Prince being introduced as "His Royal Highness, Christopher Rupert Windemere Vandermere Karl Alexander François Reginald Lancelot [[Embarrassing Middle Name|Herman]] Gregory James, son of Her Majesty, Queen Constantina Charlotte Ermintrude Gwinyvere [[Aerith and Bob|Maisie]] Marguerite Anne and His Majesty, King Maximilian Godfrey Ladislaus Leopold [[Aerith and Bob|Sidney]] Frederick John."

* [[Eddie Izzard]]'s comedy special "Definite Article" featured a bit where he [http://thinkcrate.blogspot.com/2005/03/eddie-izzard-comic-genius.html poked fun at the trend for heads of the United Nations to have exceedingly long names]:

"Come on in, Jeffrey-big long-named person!" }}

* The play "The Persecution And Assassination of Jean Paul Marat As Performed By The Inmates Of The Asylum Of Charenton Under The Direction Of The Marquis De Sade" by Peter Weiss is commonly referred to as "Marat/Sade" for obvious reasons, often times even on posters.

* On ''[[Animaniacs]]'', you have Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana-Fana-Bo-Besca III, but you can call her "Dot", just Dot. [[Berserk Button|Call her "Dotty" and you die.]] One episode sees her trip over the name numerous times in a series of [[Hilarious Outtakes]], finally bursting into a [[Cluster F-Bomb|heavily censored rant]]. When she demands Yakko try reciting it, he does so flawlessly, to which she snipes, "Easy for ''you'' to say, Mr. United-States-Canada-Mexico-Panama!"

** And of course, Professor Otto Von Schnitzelpusskrankengescheitmeyer from "Schnitzelbank".

'''Yakko and Dot''': Ya, das ist ein incredibly long name to have to try and say! }}

* On ''[[Histeria!]]'', the host of the ''Great Blunders in History'' segment was named Sarah Coopersmithfitzwarengoldenheimerstein.

** That guy Diana used to be married to is actually named "Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor". Amusingly, Diana actually forgot his name when it came to say her vows, giving it as "Charles Arthur Philip George".

*** Mocked mercilessly in ''[[The Now Show]]'''s coverage of the Charles/''Camilla'' wedding:

Registry: Do you, Charles Arthur da-dee-da-dah whatever take Camilla Magilla Gorilla Driller Killer Bootzilla Cilla Britney Chardonnay Parker Knoll Recliner Bowles... }}

** France had Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de la Fayette. We [[Eagle Land|Yanks]] just called him "Lafayette".
