History OverlyLongName / VideoGames

* King Dedede lengthened his boss fight moniker throughout the Franchise/{{Kirby}} series. Starting with Masked Dedede in ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStarUltra'', it then became Masked Dedede's Revenge in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' and later Giant King Dedede's Revenge in ''VideoGame/KirbysBlowoutBlast.''

** ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'' has the playable character [[MultiEthnicName Moserah Hayussinian Yan-Lun al-Amir Andreyevna]], or "Moze" for short.

* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', the author of ''Life Beyond the Einstein-Rosen Ridge'', which inspired the formation of the Vertumna Group and the colonization of the alien planet, is named Planktonic Ascendance [[MultiEthnicName Wang-Botha-Schmidt.]]

* ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'' has Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage.

* Randomly-generated hobo names in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' are often this, and can get as ridiculous as: "Burninatin' Gavin "Do You Smell Something Burning?" O'Sullivan, the Guy Who Causes a Temperature-Related Desire to Remove All of One's Clothing." This is appropriate, since the hobos and their names are a reference to the [[LongTitle verbosely titled]] book ''Literature/TheAreasOfMyExpertise''.

** ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'' has Joaquin Jocinto De Meara Alphonso D'Oro, known as just "Joaquin D'Oro". Guybrush is convinced that he should be called "[[IncrediblyLamePun D'Oro]] [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer the Explorer]]" (Guybrush's hand slaps him for it).

* In ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'', the Outlander, Sir Roderick, is known in full as "Sir Roderick Ponce von Fontlebottom, the Magnificent Bastard".
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'' gives us Nefentitiri Radames Ampenhetep Iruiktanas Antikoseus Puto Remaios Kureakias Dimetirios Farasmuseian Ishak Saraj Amenenuhet Tatomes Hatshepsut Toto Ank Amen Hortez VI's son, Hortez VII.
* ''Tale of Food'': Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Wreaking Havoc on the Arhats; yes, the name of the (real) dish really is that long, even in the original Chinese, which is most likely why its personification here shortens his name to just Ba Xian.
* In ''VideoGame/PopfulMail'', there's the minor villain Lord Venuncio, whose full name is "Klabberdeen Klotchsniffer Leetzlewiffle Poopiewouffen von Venuncio Krakenlichter Ratchetface XIV".

* Haggis [=McMutton=], a burly scotsman in ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'', is actually named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Heart, Liver And Kidneys Boiled In The Stomach Of The Animal McMutton]]. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext His parents were expecting a girl.]]
** Then ''VideoGame/EscapeFromMonkeyIsland'' brings us Admiral Ricardo Luigi Pierre M'Bengu Chang Nehru O'Hara Casaba III. His family has widely dispersed in-laws.
** Also, ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'' has Joaquin Jocinto De Meara Alphonso D'Oro, known as just "Joaquin D'Oro". Guybrush is convinced that he should be called "[[IncrediblyLamePun D'Oro]] [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer the Explorer]]" (Guybrush's hand slaps him for it).

* ''VideoGame/NamuAmidaButsuUtena'': Many Buddhas have names consisting of five or six tricky characters as they do in real life, i.e. ''Fukūjōju Nyorai'', ''Ususama Myōō'', and as such often get OnlyKnownByTheirNickname.
** Some of the skills can also fall prey to this, with Miroku's default 5-star card ''Enraijishi Ryūgesan'e'' having '''eight''' characters.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' has AmbiguouslyGay French [[FunnyForeigner Foreign Exchange student]] Andre Roland Jean Gérard, or Bebe for short.
** SpellMyNameWithAnS and the "L/R problem" gives us the alternative "Andre Laurent Jean Gireux", which is somehow even ''more'' French. And you ''still'' can't logically get Bebe from it.
* King Dedede lengthened his boss fight moniker throughout the Franchise/{{Kirby}} series. Starting with Masked Dedede in ''Super Star Ultra'', it then became Masked Dedede's Revenge in ''Triple Deluxe'' and later Giant King Dedede's Revenge in ''Blowout Blast.''
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Salarians have rather long full names. In order, they are the salarian's homeworld, nation, city, district, clan name and given name. A salarian NPC on Noveria is referred to as Rannadril Ghan Swa Fulsoom Karaten Narr Eadi Bel Anoleis. Usually they just go by the final two, being the clan name and family name.
** While not as extreme as salarian names, quarian names can be rather lengthy; for example, Tali's full name in [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 the second game]] is "Tali'Zorah vas Neema nar Rayya", meaning "Tali of Clan Zorah, crew of the starship ''Neema'', born on the starship ''Rayya''." At one point in the third game she admits that quarian naming conventions can get confusing even to quarians.

* Mika Kuouzumiaiginsusutakeizumonokamimeichoujin from the eroge ResortBoin. That's the longest Japanese surname I've ever seen.

* In ''VideoGame/StarControl III'' (yes, yes, it doesn't exist), the Eternal Ones' name consists of their entire DNA sequence, and drives anything that tries to process it to insanity. This includes computers. "Eternal Ones" is taken from the beginning of their name, and translates to every language of every species in existence. Philosophers suspect that Someone's taking the piss.
** We get this information, by the way, from the Daktaklakpak. Long in its own way, compared to such species as the VUX or Utwig. Funnily, that's the ''short'' version of their name; they take a page from the Eternal Ones' book in having a true name that consists of a gigantic mathematical equation that completely describes the race, its reproduction and its maintenance. They take this to mean they're closer to the Eternal Ones than anyone else, as both have names like these.
** The previous games also had the Ariloulaleelay, from the planet Falayalaralfali.
* Jorge Garcia of ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'''s real name is Jorge Raoul Luis Garcia III.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', Natalia's full name is Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear.
** And in ''VideoGame/TalesofDestiny 2'' and ''Tales of Graces'' there's Tremorous Celestial Sundering Shredding Light of Cyclonic Butchery.
** Also in ''VideoGame/TalesofTheAbyss'', sometimes after a battle Anise will use her full title as one of these. If Guy is in the party he will say her full title is "way too long".
* In ''[[VideoGame/TouhouLabyrinth Touhou Labyrinth 2]]'', the first Bloodstained Seal boss, the TrueFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}'', is named Master Light Wings Close Range Support Cruel Battle Machine E.V.D.
* ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu]]'' renames the final boss of ''[=DonPachi=]'' to "Supreme Weapon of Extreme Hellish Annihilation: Golden Disaster". [[SarcasmMode Real subtle, there.]]
* The adventure mode in ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}} TDR 2000'' has an NPC named "Dick the-most-ridiculously-long-name-in-the-world the Shopkeeper". The adventure mode is activated and played using the game's console, and that every time you need to talk/attack someone, you need to write the command followed by their full name. You can use the up key to re-write a command, but due to a glitch, you'll have to write it all yet again if you do it too many times.
* Tumble from ''Dual Hearts'' has one, with protagonist Rumble shortening it to Tumble.
* ''VideoGame/Rockman4MinusInfinity'' has the Holdable Controllable Ring Boomerang (referred to as HCR Boomerang for short).
* In ''Chronicles of Albian: The Magic Convention'' the castle cook introduces herself as Burnadettilia Florencine Pearlesme Gertrudelle O'Harriett Rosagilda, Burnadette for short.
* The InteractiveFiction game ''Herr Doktor von Nördlingendinkelsbühlhündchen-am-Rhein''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}:''
** The ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' DLC ''Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt'' features a character named Dietmar von Heinrichzimmerschneit. It's not his real name. His real name is so long that you would starve to death trying to say it.
** ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 3}}'' has the playable character [[MultiEthnicName Moserah Hayussinian Yan-Lun al-Amir Andreyevna]], or "Moze" for short.

* Because of the item naming system in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', weapons such as a Server-Clearing Specialized Killstreak Botkiller Scattergun Mk. II are not uncommon.
* In the final court case of ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsAceAttorney'', one of the vigilantes introduces himself as ''Dzibilchaltunchunchucmil''.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', we find out that Cassandra Pentaghast is royalty (seventy-eighth in line for the throne of Nevarra). If you bring her to the Orlesian ball mission, you also find out that she has at ''least'' five surnames, due to the fact that her family has gained their position through centuries of extremely careful marriages.
-->'''Announcer''': Seeker Cassandra Allegra Calogera Portia Filomena--\\
'''Cassandra:''' Get on with it!\\
'''Announcer:''' --Pentaghast.
* The main character in ''[[VideoGame/HolyPotatoes Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!]]'' is called Patatalata Kartoffel P. Aardappel Papa.

* One of the main characters in ''Legendary Legend'' introduces herself as Rixislennia'Enlokulier-Horalenfilaasimelle. When she comments to the rest of her newly-formed party that adventurers tend to lengthen their names a bit, Steve mockingly asks if he can change his to Napoleon Moxley Caesar Justanian Nicodemus the 7th.
* ''VideoGame/OlloInTheSunnyValleyFair'' has the character Clyde Emerson William Edward Montague-Wallingford. Thankfully, he simply goes by "Prince Clyde."
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** In the series' backstory, the legendary Yokudan ({{Precursors}} of the Redguards) hero Frandar Hunding actually had the "formal" name of Frandar do Hunding Hel Ansei No Shira. Frandar is his given name, Hunding is the region of his birth, Hel Ansei is a title recognizing him as one of [[TheOrder the Ansei]], and No Shira recognizes his noble birth.
** While Altmer normally use OnlyOneName, a ''Summerset Isle'' sidequest in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' involves arranging a duel with a snooty Altmer noble, according to proper High Elf cultural etiquette. Part of this rigid code of conduct includes issuing a formal challenge to the noble using his ''full'' name, including "matrilineal, patrilineal, and clan honorifics", and flubbing the name at any point requires you to start over. The noble's full name is "Lirendel Rumilion 'len Inecil Culanarin Salolinwe 'ata Piryaden-Itelnoril Hilnore Firlamil 'cal Ternerben-Nivulirel".
* In ''VideoGame/LaytonBrothersMysteryRoom'', Lucy and Alfendi work for London's New Scotland Yard Serious Crime Division Classified Investigation Agency Headquarters. Since it's a mouthful people just call it Scotland Yard's "Mystery Room" instead.
* ''VideoGame/LenEn'' has Clause, whose full name is Wilhelm von Clausewitz Halcyon HISUIMARU.
* In ''Farmington Tales 2: Winter Crop'' Councilman Wyatt threatens to seize Floyd's farm under the auspices of the Real Estate Restructuring and Rehabilitation Appropriation Adjustment Act of 1923, or RERRAAA for short.
* ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'': "Homestar Ruiner" has the Free Country USA Tri-Annual Race to the End of the Race, the winner of which is awarded the Free Country USA Tri-Annual Race to the End of the Race Silver Trophy of Ultimate Destiny. Both are [[InsistentTerminology almost always referred to by their full names]], accompanied by a dramatic fanfare. There's also the dietary supplement Strong Bad orders a free sample of, Total Load Total Body Energy Enhancement Powder.
* In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', alternate versions of a character get a sort of title to differentiate them, like "Alter" for the character's evil side or "Lily" for a younger version of them. Then we get Jeanne d'Arc's evil side [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext deciding to become Santa Claus]] for one of the Christmas events, wield a spear, and accidentally turns herself into a child, which makes her full name "Jeanne Alter Lancer Santa Lily". Several jokes are made about this, and Jeanne herself bites her tongue when trying to say the full thing several times.
* ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'' has [[MemeticMutation Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage]]

* ''[[VideoGame/MagicalVacation Magical Starsign]]'': The full name of the rabbit village in Puffon is "Honey Mint White Caramel Fudgeflake with Melty Butter and Syrup and Whipped Cream on Top". It was shortened to "Honey Mint" because saying the whole name ended giving everybody a sugar high. Despite this, one inhabitant is actually angry about this and demands that you call the town by its full name.
