9A.k.a. [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Incredibly Long Name]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} to Have to Try and Say]].
10
11In the broadest sense, whenever a character has more than the usual (in the Anglosphere) first, middle, and last name, they are in possession of this trope. Also included are people who have the right number of names, but one or more of them is absurdly long, for example Ulla Inga Hansen-Bensen-Janson-Tallen-Hallen-Svaden-Swanson in the remake of ''Film/TheProducers''. (This is actually ''just'' her first name. They "[[TakeOurWordForIt don't have the time]]" to hear her last name.)
12
13Can be used simply as a humor device, getting cheap laughs out of an absurd name; played to the extreme this would be a type of OverlyLongGag, being so long as to be tedious and thus deriving its humor; or it can be a non-joke to the audience because characters with strange names are expected in the type of show/book/planet/whatever, but cause the characters involved trouble as they try not to react to, or at least comment on, the oddity of the person's name. And if someone wanted to go after the said person, it would be a nightmare for them to recite their full name and jot it down, which makes murdering a person with a [[Manga/DeathNote notebook]] not always a good idea.
14
15If the character is not from around here, it might be an example of AsLongAsItSoundsForeign. If there is one normal name when all the others are are ridiculous, or vice versa, it can be AerithAndBob. In all cases, one of these makes for a good UnpronounceableAlias.
16
17A variation exists with Hispanic characters, for whom having at least four names [[note]]more than one given name, plus the surnames of both parents[[/note]] is the norm. For these characters, the long name may be brandished as a funny part of the culture.
18
19TruthInTelevision: There are too many actual people, places and things with absurdly long names - it's really better if you just go to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English other wiki]], where there is a whole article dedicated to this. Doesn't that just simplify everything?
20
21Compare EmbarrassingMiddleName, OverlyLongGag, SomeCallMeTim, TheUnpronounceable, SesquipedalianSmith, and TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard. Often results in FunWithAcronyms and its sub-trope ShoehornedAcronym.
22
23Contrast OneLetterName. A NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom will almost always be overly long.

63* In the ''ComicStrip/{{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.

73* ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' gave us the name of Pedro's sister: Rosita Chiquita Juanita Chihuahua. Amusingly, Lady can't remember half of it.
74* Ignacio Alonzo Julio Federico de Tito in ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany''. Who goes by his last name most of the time.
75* In the "A Very Goofy Christmas" segment in ''WesternAnimation/MickeysOnceUponAChristmas'', the snowboard that Max is asking for for Christmas has a ludicrously long name.
76* Shenzi Marie Predatora Vendetta Jacquelina Hyena from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 The Lion King]]'', at least according to the DirectToVideo film ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf''.[[note]]It's likely, though, that Timon just made it up on the spot to stall longer.[[/note]]

80* In an Boarding School for International Students, a Chinese girl and an Indian girl are caught chatting in class. As punishment, the class teacher tells them to [[WritingLines write their names 100 times]] on a sheet of paper and submit it before class.\
81The Indian student protests: "It isn't fair, Miss, her name is '''Eva Li''', and my name is '''Samayamantri Venkata Rama Naga Butchi Anjaneya Satya Krishna Vijay'''."
82* A Japanese folktale of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugemu Jugemu]] tells of a man whose father could not choose any one name to give him, and in the end, decides to give him ''all'' of the names he thought up of. As such, his full name is '''Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no-shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopī-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke'''.

90* The ''Podcast/CoolKidsTable'' game ''Here We Gooooo!'' has T. Yoshisaur Munchikoopas the 52nd.
91** Also, their April Fools 2018 episode is called "''Star War: A Star Wars Story 001--A Lightly Used Hope (Totally Canon, We Mean It)''".
92* Lanja from ''Podcast/DiceAndVirtue''. Her full name is Kehilanja Abhorsen-Vinjaja vas-Tehir [[spoiler: sen Shelsaa]].
93* ''Podcast/HelloFromTheMagicTavern'': As it turns out, this is actual a requisite for wizards of Fuun. To date, we have:
94** [[SmallNameBigEgo Eusidore the Blue]]: "I am Usidore! Wizard of the 12th Realm of Ephysiyies, Master of Light and Shadow, Manipulator of Magical Delights, Devourer of Chaos, Champion of the Great Halls of Terr’akkas. The elves know me as Fi’ang Yalok. The dwarves know me as Zoenen Hoogstandjes. And I am also known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar.
95** [[TheAce Spintax the Green]], Master of the Third, Ninth, and Twelfth Realms of Ephysiyies, Wielder of Arcane Forces Compelling the Living and the Dead, Diviner of Unknowable Truths, Caster of Illusions, Destroyer of Lies, Dissolver of the Wall of Fire, Imbiber of the Nine Deadly Poisons, Author of the Pandenomicon, and Winner of the Wizard's Choice Award; the Dwarfs know me as Nickelback Silverchair, the Angels know me as Mama Cassai'el, the Vampires know me as Cameron Orlando, in the South I am known as Lodestone Greatcraft.
96** [[AnchoredShip Jyn'Leeviyah the Red]], Wizard of the Sixth Realm of Ephysiyies; Mistress of Nature and Nurture; Reviver of the Springs of Gu’uthmagit; Seer of the Prophecies of the Temziet Mists; Keeper of the Sacred Tome of Deyfral; And two-time Wizard's Choice Award nominee. The Elves know me as Perimmäin So’it’thuri, the Vampires know me as Beyonce Bloodlust; the Tree Folk know me as Opal Vinewitch; and upon the isle of Meegas, I am known as Ukkosta Kassvista. And ask me of mine other names, and I shall gladly share all, my children.
97** [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Can the Yellow]] aka Caneficent Dewspring, Master of Space and Time, Headmaster of the Jizzlenob Preparatory School for Young Wizards; the Elves did know me Cannigan the Everliving, the Elves do know me as Candle Dewspice, the Elves will know me as Candy Crowley; the Dwarfs did know me as Canned Heat, the Dwarfs do know me as Canticle Lebowitz, and the Dwarfs will know me as Canban Scrummaster...

99* ''Podcast/HeroClub'' has Count Jessica Michelangelo Aldus Vanderhorn from ''It Never Sleeps'' and ''Paid Back In Spades'', and Sir Theobald Cedric Plimpton Darringcroft from ''The City of Mirrors'' and ''Chains of Atlantis''
100* ''Podcast/{{Psycomedia}}'' discusses various long-named psychologists, most prominently Csikszentmihalyi.
101* ''Podcast/TrialsAndTrebuchets'' features a Kobold named [[NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom The Cobalt Butterfly Kissed The Dew-Wet Rose in the Morning Sun]] as a minor character. Understandably, she goes by "Duet" for short.
102* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' has the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex. which is always said in its entirety. There's also the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home, but her name is usually shortened to Faceless Old Woman.
103[[/folder]]
104
105[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
106* Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} had Still Life with Apricots and Pears (now known as Wrestling/EdithSurreal) and her former tag team partner Ursa Minor in the Night Sky. Surreal's match with The Proletariat Boar of Moldova at ''Hour of Power 14'' was described as "the most multisyllabic name in CHIKARA history."
107* Wrestling/DragonGate had an angle where Naoki Tanizaki, who'd been injured, feuded with the former Tomahawk T.T., who'd begun impersonating him as Naoki Tani'''s'''aki during his injury over his name. After the imposter defeated the original in a match where the winner received rights to the name and the right to rename the loser, he forced the original to rename to "Mr. Kyu Kyu Toyonaka Dolphin." Upon later winning his name back, Tanizaki decided he liked the Dolphin thing, and his name became "Mr. Kyu Kyu Naoki Tanizaki Toyonaka Dolphin." Part of this was because Tanizaki liked the novelty of having the longest name in pro wrestling.
108* Also in Dragon Gate, there was a wrestler named "The Former Super Shenlong III Yosuke Watanabe." Originally just Yosuke Watanabe, they became the third wrestler to take up the Super Shenlong character and, after losing the rights to it, were forced to take the long name as additional embarassment.
109* One Japanese GarbageWrestling match was labeled as a No Rope Electrified Barbed Wire Swimming Pool Dynamite Double Hell Death Match.
110* Wrestling/ZackSabreJr titled one of his ''many'' hideous-looking submission holds "Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness". This was a shout-out to the British {{math rock}}/[[PostRock post-rock]] band Youthmovies, who used that phrase as the title of a 2004 EP.
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
114* A mild example from ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'': The full name of one of the crewmembers on the ''Hispaniola'' was Big Fat Ugly Bug-Faced Baby-Eating O'Brien. Don't ask.
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Radio]]
118* A radio episode of ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'' featured an attempt by Mr. Conklin to borrow Mrs. Davis's house trailer from Miss Brooks. He wanted to go fishing on an isolated lake, deep in the wilderness. The name of the lake, and the title of the episode? "Oo Oo Me Me Tocoludi Gucci Moo Moo." It's the local Indians' word for "blue."
119* The Dickens spoof ''Radio/BleakExpectations'' featured a lawyer whose full name took 20 minutes to say. He charged by the hour, so "his name was his greatest asset". The show would either [[FadeToBlack fade out]] as he was saying his name, or he would be interrupted. His name began with Wyckham-Post-Forburton-...
120* A song, possibly known as 'The Baby's Name', has which the chorus is: "The Baby's name is Kitchener-Carrington-Methuen-Kekewich-White-Cronje-Plumer-Powell-Majuba-Gatacre-Warren-Colenso-Kruger-Cape Town-Mafeking-French-Kimberley-Ladysmith-Bobs-The Union Jack-Fighting Mac-Lyddite-Pretoria-Blogs" or something to that effect.
121* Doug Berman, the producer of ''Radio/CarTalk'', is referred to in the credits with an overly long succession of {{Embarrassing Nickname}}s. The longest version is "Doug 'the Subway Fugitive' 'Not-a-Slave-to-Fashion' 'Bongo Boy' 'Frog-Man' 'Punkin Lips' 'Cute-Cute-Cute' Berman".
122** Before they started the RunningGag of naming the (also long-named) food-related event from which technical advisor John Bugsy Lawlor has just returned, he also had a long series of nicknames: John 'Bugsy' 'Sebastian' 'Mr. Height' 'Sweet Cheeks' '[[BigEater Free Lunch]]' 'Twinkle Toes' '[[YouAreFat Donut Breath]]' 'Hula Hips' 'Gigabyte' '[[OverlyLongGag Make That Two Triple Cheeseburgers]]' Lawlor.
123* One episode of ''Thanks a Lot, Creator/MiltonJones!'' has a German countess whose name takes so long to recite that everyone falls asleep and, when they wake up the following morning, the host is ''still'' reciting it. It actually becomes a plot point at the end: trying to remember such a horrifically-long name has damaged her memory so much that she once [[spoiler:left her infant daughter in an Essex pub]] and forgot all about it.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Roleplay]]
127* ''Roleplay/EXEAVirusContainmentGame'': The third game contains a character whose full name is "270 degree (not 90 degree) Rotated Chester Alan Arthur, 21st President of the United States. (But you can call him Chester.) Yes, this is his full name including the parentheticals and this statement also." For obvious reasons, almost everyone just calls him Chester.
128* In ''Roleplay/RainQuest'', because the players chose so many different names for Joel, his original full name was a combination of all of them: Joel Aquakamelech Abramovich Maximum-Horsefeathers. Although he was called Joel for short, the players eventually decided to change his name to simply Joel.
129[[/folder]]
130
131[[folder:Theme Parks]]
132* In ''Star Tours: The Adventures Continue'', there is a droid in the queue named G2-4T, which he says is short for something much longer, and he says that that's only his ''first'' name.
133-->G2-4T: I'd tell you my last name, but I don't want to hold up the line.
134[[/folder]]
135
136[[folder:Visual Novels]]
137* ''VisualNovel/{{Ever17}}'' gives you 'Tanaka Yuubiseiharukana' and [[spoiler:Tanaka Yuubiseiakikana in The Kid's routes.]]
138** In Takeshi's route, when trying to think of a nickname for the Kid, Coco suggests "Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Hora Juan Novecino Marie de Los Remedios Siburiano de la Santessima Trinidado Luis Picasso". The Kid decides to just stick with "the Kid". (The scary thing is, this is based on the full name of Creator/PabloPicasso, which in RealLife was ''even longer'').
139* In ''VisualNovel/LuckyDog1'', the protagonist is known as Giancarlo Bourbon del Monte. Since his full name is obviously quite a mouthful, he is more commonly known as Gian.
140* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'': Kud's full name is Kudryavka Anatolyevna Strugatskaya, which isn't too unusual for a Russian name but is very long to Japanese people. Though in a {{Deconstruction}}, Kud finds it kind of hurtful that people always laugh when they hear how overly dramatic her name sounds, and is quite touched when Riki doesn't.
141* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' Kizuna, Kotohogushi-hen, Hanyuu's real name is [[spoiler:[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hanyuu_full_name_1069.jpeg Hai=ryuun Yeasomuul Jeda,]](yes, equals sign and all). Riku Furude, Hanyuu's lover, never could remember it/how to pronounce it, so he called her Hanyuu and it stuck.]]
142* The H-Visual Novel, ''Resort Boin'' gives us: Mika Kuouzumiaiginsusutakeizumonokamimeichoujin.
143* In ''VisualNovel/CodeRealize'', the protagonists enter an airship race to acquire a minor MacGuffin. Their engineer names their ship the ''HMS Impey and Princess and Their Servants'', after himself and the main character. The race announcer decides to shorten it to ''HMS Princess and Servants.''
144* In the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series:
145** In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'', [[ProfessionalKiller Shelly de Killer]]'s Japanese name "Sazaemon Koroshiya" is nine kanji long (虎狼死家 左々右エ門). Most names clock in at four, but he uses an unusually long name by Japanese standards, composed of a string of characters using very short readings. [[note]]Actually, the middle character in his given name, 右 isn't read at all, just being a VisualPun with 左 (left-right).[[/note]]
146** In the last case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'', the full English name of the Minister of Justice for the Kingdom of Khura'in Inga Karkhuul Khura'in is Inga Karkhuul [[PunnyName Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz]] Khura'in III. This is actually a plot point in the final case [[spoiler:when the potential of Maya channeling him is brought up; to do so, you need to know the person's face and full name, and Maya only knows him as Inga Kharkuul Khura'in.]]
147** In ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney 2: Resolve'', one of the witnesses for the third chapter is named Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond Ormstein. The Court Record just gives up and calls him "Bohemian Boy", while the main character calls him "Master Gotts".
148* The entirety of the main antagonists in ''Franchise/MuvLuv'', are referred to by the rather long name of '''B'''eings of the '''E'''xtra-'''T'''errestrial origin which is '''A'''dversary of human race. It's quite the mouthful so they just shorten it to [[FunWithAcronyms BETA]] instead.
149* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' has [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event In Human History]]; or "The Tragedy" for short.
150[[/folder]]
151
152[[folder:Web Animation]]
153* ''WebAnimation/CatsingCall'': The ragdoll cat's full name is "Osiris Dior Sauvage von Katzenwald... Descendant of Venezia Jupi-" and the scene cuts off before we can hear the rest.
154* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
155** The WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "i love you" gives us Fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf. This holds the dubious record of the longest string of consonants in the series - sixteen to be exact. Strong Bad managed to pronounce the whole thing once, but quickly shortened it to Fhqwhgads because in the time it took him to say that, he could have made [[RunningGag a painting of a guy with a big knife]].
156** In an EasterEgg in "50 emails", Old-Timey Strong Bad receives a telegram from Sir Elsington Hallsdingdingsworth.
157** In "the process", Strong Bad gets an email signed "Em", and he assumes it must be short for something, like Emerson, Embrodak, or Emtarkanderundersgunderson.
158** In the email "pet show", The Cheat performs in the Cat Mess Inbredtational Pet Show under the name Saberlord's Scritchascratch Cakemonger The Cheat. Homestar, meanwhile, has been entered under the name Fluffle's Buffles Scruffle's Homestar Runner.
159** One of Strong Bad's alter egos in "secret identity" is a female magazine columnist named Cara Carabowditbowdit.
160* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'':
161** The Emperor challenges Kitten to a game of ''Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Forth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker'' (actually an {{expy}} of TabletopGame/YuGiOh).
162** A later episode has Magnus ask [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname "Kitten"]] for his full name. He's a Custodes (who live for thousands of years and accumulate names based on great accomplishments) so they just skip forward ([[NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom several hours]]) to Magnus getting bored and telling him to stop halfway through.
163* ''WebAnimation/{{Japanoschlampen}}'' loves these.
164** Wake's full name is either of these, depending on the episode:
165*** Wakashimu Tanemaha Linekinamatittenepan
166*** Wakashimu Tanemahazuana Ketchupketchup Tittenopan
167*** Wakeshimu Tanemahatsuna Kitschtupanic Nisnanepan
168** Chao's full name is either of these, depending on the episode:
169*** Chao Pingbang Shingpingpam Pitingpimpampum
170*** Chao Wingching Hongfingshong Pingpangpong
171** Meister Futsi's full name is Futsimitetsuyafatsche Yoshifatzomotucanadazoo.
172** The cursed spring which [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf temporarily turns Ass into a girl]] is in a park named Mazuki Yama Knatschni Tasawu Feng Tong Seng.
173** There's a hostel named Komiyasakasowasanagashiwa.
174* In ''WebAnimation/TheLeetWorld'', the leader of the terrorists' little backyard band has his name standing at five words: Cortez Amelio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal.
175* ''WebAnimation/LegoPirateMisadventures'':
176** The second episode has the guys run into a "Stereotypical Islander Guy" named Oogydoogbergsonmargolatitudekaypainkismitelephantlatrinetweaksmithpassportmoisttoiletteninetytwonincorbluepoquipsibowlinggreendelsinatraartistformallyknownasooganderson, though the following episode simplified it as "Oogey Boogson".
177** His father's name is even ''worse''. Oogydoogbergsonmargolatitudekaypainkismitelephantlatrinetweaksmithpassportmoisttoiletteninetytwonincorbluepoquipsibowlinggreendelsinatraartistformallyknownasooganderson is about forty-five now, his dad's been telling him his name since he ''he was three''.
178* ObjectShows, especially its sub-genre [[{{Parody}} Joke Shows]], are fond of adding unnecessarily longwinded descriptors to an already [[ADogNamedDog straightforward name]].
179** ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'': Its SpinOff series, BFDI Mini, had Selfie Dog also known as "jack russell terrier dog riding very fast with speed a skateboard as skater, with sunglasses in summer vacation, taking a selfie with smartphone or cell phone" (AllLowercaseLetters) and to a lesser degree, "Purple Girl with Wind Hair and Angry Eyes" who goes by her first two names.
180** ''WebAnimation/ObjectFiller'': Four contestants, in increasing detail and convolution, are named "The Remains Of The Glue That Peeled Off Your Skin" (TR), "The Ketchup That You Accidentally Squirted To Your Napkin So Now It's Hard And It Still Has Napkin Pieces On It" (Ketchup Stuff), "That One Side View Mirror On The Passenger Side Of My Mom's Car That Bumped Me In The Left Arm Recently" (Sideview Car Mirror) and, oh boy here we go, "My Channel Logo But Put Green Headphones On His Head And He Has All Limbs And They Are Green And He Has White Eyes And A White Smile Like This He Also Has Green Sunglasses And Its Name Is CT But Make His Eyes Visible Thru Them But If U Cant Then Take Off The Glasses" (CT). Say any of those names, especially the last one, three times fast.
181** ''WebAnimation/ObamasHiddenInfoObjects'': Default Discord Profile Picture, isn't as much of an overkill as the rest of the examples listed but it's still the longest in the show since everyone else's names would have two words at most. His EvilCounterpart in the [[Webcomic/ObamasHiddenInfoObjects webcomic]] is appropriately named "''Evil'' Default Discord Profile Picture", making it the longest out of both series.
182** ''WebAnimation/ReallyCoolObjectShow'': There's a contestant with the name of "Rusty Damaged Samurai Sword That's Actually A Knife Because It's Not Strong Enough To Stab Through Bones".
183

185
186[[folder:Web Original]]
187* [[AxCrazy The Knight Exemplars]] of ''Literature/LordOfDragons'' all have these sorts of names: Robespierre de Fortescue Von Garamond-Lily the Murderer of Eighty-Seven Babies And An Adorable Puppy, Guy de Verigengen Van Gervenger-Vergenven-Geodendag the Vicious Attacker of Grannies With Bags Of Shopping And Zimmer Frames, and Hector de Payens-Wayans-Rochefort-Wensleydale Smyth-Smith-Culverin-Willoughby-Wallaby-Wallace the Third, who has no title as his name is too long anyway.
188* The cowboy's name in ''[[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/25123880/ Old Western Name Generator]]'' is Billy Bob Joe Joe Joe Bo Billy Billy Bob Bo Billy Bo Joe Billy Bo Bo Billy Bo Billy Joe Billy Billy Joe Joe Joe Bo Billy Bob Bo Billy Joe Bo Billy Billy Bob Joe Joe Bo Billy... [[note]] The words after "Billy Bob Joe" are produced randomly.[[/note]]
189* In the ''Website/OrionsArm'' universe, one [[DeusEstMachina archailect]] has a name described as "''apparently a mathematical real function consisting of no less than 46.3 sextillion terms; it is believed there is some short representation but none has been found by lower toposophic entities, although one posthuman observer claimed that it was simply a Taylor polynomial approximation of the sine function around x = 2 ^ 1e+(1e+(1e+100))''"
190* ''Literature/TheQuestportChronicles'' has this in spades, until it's practically become a RunningGag. Examples include [[BigBad The Prince of Shadows and Illusions]], [[AristocratsAreEvil The Lord of Angels and Demons]], [[Film/NinjaAssassin The King of Thieves and Assassins]], and [[ActionGirl The Queen of Rogues and Robbers]].
191* ''[[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/art/Toki-and-Doki-Sisters-Reunited-300053931 Toki and Doki: Sisters Reunited]]'':
192** Giselle's full name is Giselle Opal Diamond Peridot Lazuli Ruby Sapphire Topaz Turquoise Amber Amethyst Beryl Aquamarine Emerald Garnet Quartz Tourmaline Agate Cameo Ivory Zicronia Onyx Alumina Azure Citrine Spodumene Fauna Jade Marcasite Almondine Amber Fluorite Moonstone Ametrine Rhodolite Sphene Ione Iolite Aventurine Diopside Amazonite Alexandrite Nuumite Andesine Axinite Orthoclase Pearl Carnelian Pieterisite Charoite Chalcedony Chrysoberyl Rutile Chrysoprase Clinohumite Diaspore Serpentine Coral Danburite Goshenite Grossularite Sunstone Sugilite Idocrase Tashmarine Tanzanite Matrix Jadeite Tsavorite Jaspera Sardonyx Silver Copper Platinum Gold Bloodstone [[Creator/SandroBotticelli Botticelli]]
193** On that vein, while not nearly as long (from what we've read), Precious full name is Precious Angelique Marie Margaux Merlotte Yvette Elizabeth Bethesda Mina Fleur Adelaida Lucille Belle Bijou Cheri Antoinetta Violetta Gisellia Begonia Geranium Genevieve Francheska Charlotte Tulipe Neige Elise Rose Rouge Ulrike Camille Elle Ella Rosemarie Evangeline Angeline Chastete Blanche Glace Pointue Irene Chartreuse Hortensia Hortense Lafayette Lafayetta and so on [=DeBours'e=]
194** From ''Website/{{Killerbunnies}}'': We get Visceraline, whose apparent real name was "Vladimira Lenora Agnes Belladonna Lucretzia Josephine Henrietta Rowena Philomena Theodosia Emmeline Evangeline Mahulda Fidelia Constance van Maydestone-Strangewayes"
195** To a lesser degree we get Fae's real name being Fleurdelice Belladonna Fae Chantrea Enderstone and Hyacinth's being "Hyacinth Angelica Cerise Blumenthal". Those are just about a few we hear, apparently, the artist liked to write long names.
196* Website/{{Collegehumor}} has a character spontaneously create the LineOfSightName of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-4uXoep_KA Amir Raphael Wallstripes Turkey Helmet Couch Floor Table Tube Hair Sweater Blanket Guitar Wood Chair Cushion Dragon Map Beard Pen Astronaut Spill Garbage Can Used Kleenex Laptop Lamp Trophy Board Game Globe Books Door Gnome Ceiling Phone Frame Poster Dumbass Plant Notebooks Light Pillow.]]

203* When Mike Trapp from ''Website/CollegeHumor'' got angry with the writers for having no sketch pitches, Katie responded by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-4uXoep_KA improvising an example of this trope]].
204-->'''Katie:''' Yeah, that's right. I said her name is Amir Raphael Wallstripes Turkey Helmet Couch Floor Table Tube Hair Sweater Blanket Guitar Wood Chair Cushion Dragon Map Beard Pen Astronaut Spill Garbage Can Used Kleenex Laptop Lamp Trophy Board Game Globe Books Door Gnome Ceiling Phone Frame Poster Dumbass Plant Notebooks Light Pillow! It's a character sketch, duh!
205* Campaign one of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' has the illustrious gunslinger PC Percival Frederickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III... [[RunningGag but you can call him Percy]]. Played for laughs in Episode 30, when the rest of the players try to say his name and get it horrendously wrong... and then he tries to say it himself, and ''also'' gets it wrong.
206-->'''Creator/TaliesinJaffe:''' Percival Frederickstein Klossowski ''FUCK'' von Musel de Rolo III.
207* [[PunnyName Ann T. Disestablishmentarianism]] from the ''WebVideo/DanielTrasher'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rdbCRA17Ys "When you have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia"]]. The "T" in her name stands for thermoluminescence.
208* Kai Abridged 2 of Creator/TeamFourStar's ''WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged'' has Guru give himself so many names when introducing himself to Krillin, that he only finishes after Gohan arrives. Nail even throws a Lampshade by just offering the Dragonball to Krillin while stating that he (Guru) will be at it for quite some time.
209* ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'':
210** The official name for Drywaters, a now-defunct faction founded by Fundy and Niki, is Smokey-Corn-on-The-Cob-Waterville-Dry-Hands-Desert-Land.
211** Funnily enough, according to his copy of the Las Nevadas contract, Fundy's full name is "Fun Jonatahan micahel vincent [[GenderBlenderName georgina]] james [[Memes/AmongUs sus]] Dy".
212** During the ''Tales From the SMP'' episode "The Masquerade", one of the attendees' names, [[RunningGag also]] played by Fundy the content creator, is Oliver Arechtenshire Smitselist Cumbucket.
213* ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'' has Pablo Picasso ''rap'' out his full name (or nearly so) -- and it takes up most of his second verse.
214* The ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' gave us Mr. Mrs. Dr. Plurmp Dangerfield "Dankenstein" [=McFlurnten=][[note]] pronounced "[=McFlurten=]", the first 'n' is silent[[/note]] the Cat the Monkey, Esquire Junior Senior, the name of their playable character in ''VideoGame/SonicForces''.
215* ''WebVideo/ITVInTheFace'': in the "Tyne Tees" episode, one of the speculative names for the station was the long and unwieldy "The Tyne And The Wear And Also The Tees Television".
216* PlayedForLaughs in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's Godzilla review. There is a running gag in the video that no one can pronounce one of the characters' names:
217-->'''Critic:''' Good old Testosterone--\
218'''Nick:''' It's Tatopoulos.\
219''[later...]''\
220'''Critic:''' Mr. Tapdancelous--\
221'''Nick:''' It's Tatopoulos.\
222''[later...]''\
223'''Critic:''' ''[voiceover]'' So after that we see Audrey, as she comes across Mr. Tackanovahumpashirerickydickyhamstermasterpollywollywannabingbang[[Film/MaryPoppins supercalifragilistic]]nickknackpaddywhackgiveadoga[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakko,_Wakko,_and_Dot#Dot_Warner bananafannafofresca]]hickorydickory[[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone hocketypocketywockety]][[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} angelinafrancescathethird]]\
224'''Nick:''' It's Tatopoulos!\
225'''Critic:''' ''[voiceover]'' Whatever.
226* ''WebVideo/PiratesSMP'': {{Invoked|Trope}} by Bek, who names her ship "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" after the [[OverlyLongName/RealLife real-life]] Welsh town that deliberately lengthened its name for tourism.[[note]]Bek is played by a Welsh content creator who speaks the language and has no trouble saying the name.[[/note]] She explains to Jojo that by the time her enemies have finished saying the ship's full name, [[ExploitedTrope she will have already boarded their ship]].
227* WebVideo/ScottTheWoz:
228** The titular character's full name, as revealed in the episode "''VideoGame/MegaMan1 (NES)'' | Growing Pains", is Scott [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName "Will Eventually Take A Look At The First Mega Man"]] Wozniak (or Scott W.E.T.A.L.A.T.F.M.M. Wozniak for short).
229** A later episode introduces one of his friends, [[ItMakesSenseInContext I Don't Know How I Didn't Realize I Had To Twist The Joystick To Play]] VideoGame/PolePosition [[ItMakesSenseInContext I Was Just A Kid Leave Me Alone]].
230--->''"I hate my parents."''
231* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W85F-UmnbF4 Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Osas]] is, supposedly, the man with the "hardest name in Africa". He's actually a character played by Nigerian comedian David Igwe.
232* Episode 53 of ''WebVideo/YouSuckAtCooking'' gives us the "Garlic spinach and sundried tomatoes mixed with macaroni and cheese until it all tastes delicious and then you eat it mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it's so good why didn't I think of this a long time ago and will I ever be able to eat macaroni and cheese ever again without this awesome stuff inside it I doubt it except that it's a lot of work so I'll probably just think about it next time then won't actually go to all the trouble unless I'm trying to impress someone but maybe i should start trying to impress myself for a change and see where that gets me in life I'm ordering Thai".
