    My friend’s name is literally “Long”. I think that counts.

      There’s a difference between long and longest, and I think that counts, too :)

    Not the longest, but I once worked with a Thai lady named Soda Pop. She swore it was her real name, it was on all her work documents and everything.

      I once knew a Thai woman named Siri Alexa. Seriously, she is about 65 and is quite tired of the jokes.

      Thai people tend to have names that mean things like that.

      Common ones I’ve seen:

      Pang = bread Namsom = orange juice Namphueng = honey (bee water) Namfon = rain water Somporn = auspicious orange Somwan = sweet orange

    A girl I knew was called, and I shit you not: Estradivarius. 5 syllables. Yes, the same name as the clothing store which itself named after the string instrument.

        Oh, I’m not sure. In Spanish it’s es-tra-di-va-rius.

          Okay, good to hear someone else say this about Spanish. Like how “diez” is much closer to 1 syllable than 2

    My sister because she legally changed her name to include all her favorite names because she couldn’t decide on just 3. So all of them are 2-3 hyphenated names.

    In Spain, four syllable names aren’t rare. Antonio or Ignacio are quite common. Isidoro and Wenceslao, are more rare but I’ve met some.

    Then there are composite names that might seem two names but are considered a single one, like José María or Francisco Javier.

    I work with a lot of folks in India with super long names and they generally have a shorter version everyone calls them by.

    I think the longest for someone I’ve met is “Vishnuvardhan” but everyone calls him Vish.

    Then the problem is having a dozen Vish’s.

1) Be nice and; have fun

In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
