6	* ''Manga/AnimalCrossingNewHorizonsDesertedIslandDiary'': In "At Last, Time To Name The Island!", when trying to decide on a name for the island, Coroyuki gets the idea to ask for input from various people. They all just say random things, which Himepoyo notes isn't very good. However, Coroyuki takes it all and names the island "Muscles So Hard That The Whole World Is Jealous Of Today's Goal, Which Is A Meooo-oh Ten-Pack Of Abs That Leads To Spring And Tulips, Who Think The Starry Sky Is More Romantic That A Selfie With A Scallop After Letting Your Tea Steep Too Long Cuz "K.K. Mambo" Was Playing" Island.
7	* ''Literature/AllisonAndLillia'': Lilliane Acacia Corazon Whittington-Schultz.
8	* The first transfer student in ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'' has Jiritsu Shikou Kotei Hodai ("Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery") as her name. Everyone called her by '''FullNameBasis''' until they shortened it into "Ritsu".
9	* ''Literature/AsuraCryin'': Ania Fortuna Somesyuru Crowzenbruhi, in short, Nia.
10	* "Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade" aka [[spoiler:"Shinobu"]] from ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}.''
11	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'':
12	** There's a group of knights known as The Blue Whale Ultra Heavy Armored Fierce Assault Annihilation Knight Corps. In at least one instance, a knight says this whole title [[TalkingIsAFreeAction in the middle of battle.]]
13	** Princess Charlotte has a really long formal title: Charlotte Beatrix Marie Rhody Wyndham.
14	* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'':
15	** Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (Ed). Although this name is just a fanciful appellation she made for herself, her real name, [[spoiler: Françoise Appledelhi]], is also quite a mouthful.
16	** [[spoiler:Her father]]'s name is impressive, as well: Appledelhi Siniz Hesap Lütfen. This is, more or less, Turkish for, "Excuse me, CheckPlease."
17	** Gren's full name, Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener, counts too.
18	* ''Literature/CrestOfTheStars'':
19	** The main heroine's full name is Abriel Nei Debrusc Borl Paryun Lafiel. The hero's full name is Lin Shu Rock Yalulug Dril Hydal Jinto. Those are just the phonetic renderings of their names as well, their names correctly transliterated from Baronh into the Latin alphabet read "Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Bœrh Parhynr Lamhirh" and "Linn Ssynec Rocr Ïarlucec Dreuc Haïder Ghintec", respectively. The pronunciation and spelling of [[ConLang Baronh]] vaguely resemble those of [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench French]].
20	** All Abh have at least four names. Surname, Social-Rank, Family Founder, Personal Name. Nobles like Jinto and Lafiel add their titles between the Family Founder and Personal Name. So Lafiel is Abriel family, royalty (nei) of the line founded by Dubresc, Viscountess Parnyuu, Lafiel for example.
21	* ''Anime/CyberTeamInAkihabara'': Suzume gave her Patapi the name of Francesca Leopold Classic Renoir III.
22	* The general mechanics behind the naming of Franchise/{{Digimon}} mean that falling victim to this is both easy and common once they reach [[EvolutionaryLevels 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 [[Anime/DigimonAdventure 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=], [[Anime/DigimonFrontier ShadowMetalKabuterimon]], [=MetallifeKuwagamon=], [[Anime/DigimonXEvolution DexDorugoramon]] and, most hilariously, [[VideoGame/DigimonWorld2 ChaosBlackWarGreymon]]. The [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldDS set of]] [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldDawnDusk DS RPGs]] couldn't even fit a majority of Digimon names in the space allotted for said names!
23	* ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' had Tsuruten Tsun's wife, Tsuntsunodanoteiyuugou Tsun.
24	* ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' has [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Gil/Giru]], whose serial number is [=DB4649T2006RS=] (or [=DD4649T22006RS=] in other languages). Dr. Myuu and every M2 calls him with this number, which is kinda funny, and you are able to memorize it easily after a while.
25	-->'''Random M2:''' "Look, it's [=DB4649T2006RS=]!"
26	** Since Gil is mostly known by his serial number among fellow [=M2s=], they consider it as his real name.
27	--->'''Neji:''' "He is not 'Gil'. He is [=DB4649T2006RS=]."
28	* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' has the "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" form, first introduced in the ''[[Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF Resurrection 'F']]'' film (which ''Super'' adapts). Goku attempting to say this tongue-twister of a title in the manga causes him to bite his tongue. Later on they just settle for "Super Saiyan Blue" instead.
29	* ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'':
30	** Louise Françoise Leblanc de La Vallière, the protagonist.
31	** Louise's classmate Montmorency Margarita la Fère de Montmorency.
32	** Several others, most of which double as a HistoricalInJoke. Kirche's full name is Catherine the Great's maiden name for instance.
33	* ''Literature/FateZero'' has Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri. And technically speaking she was supposed to add El-Melloi to that [[spoiler:before she got killed]].
34	* ''Anime/{{Fireball}}'' has The 19th Lord of Uranos' Kingdom's Tempest Domain, Drossel Juno Vierzehntens Heizregister Fürstin von Flügel. That's pretty long. However, the credits, as well as abbreviating it to simply "Drossel", also give her the alternate name "Juno-XIV".
35	* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
36	** Subverted when a being known as [[spoiler:"the Homunculus"]] tries to give Slave 23 a name. He then goes on "Let's see... Theo... Theophrastus Bombastus... va..." and is interrupted by 23 saying "That's too long!" [[spoiler:The Homunculus]] then reconsiders and says "Then what about [[spoiler:'Van Hohenheim']]?" See the Real Life section of this article to see what this scene was referencing.
37	** An {{omake}} [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=oS0aY7PSZiI asserted]] [[NoNameGiven Scar's]] real name is Jugemu-jugemu Gokōnosurikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kūnerutokoroni-sumutokoro Yaburakōjino-burakōji Paipopaipo-paiponoshūringan Shūringanno-gūrindai Gūrindaino-ponpokopīno-ponpokonāno Chōkyūmeino-chōsuke -- and so is King Bradley's. This is a reference to the Rakugo story "Jugemu Jugemu"; for more information see entry for ''Manga/ShouwaGenrokuRakugoShinjuu''.
38	** In the English dub version of this sketch, Scar's real name is changed to Percival Ramtee Gregory Nicolai Jaques Scozer Leonardo Gabriel Socrates Ming Victor Nostradomus Alistair Predisha Vladimir Stiegler Rasputin Boromir Walla Walla Shadiga Alexander Oliver Abalard Arnesto Zippy Zappy Angel Eyes.
39	** King Bradley's name is changed to [[OverlyLongGag Russel Daniel Paul Blake Joseph Fallon Eric Fred Orson Trevor Richard Charlton Christopher Benedict Garfield Polyeurothane Nicholas Roderick Theodore Steve Michael Alvin Carter Bryce Jeffery Marigold Peter Ethan Aaron Papa William Nathaniel Orville Chuck Slippy Slappy Zippy Zappy Angel Eyes]].
40	*** WHEW!!! Talk about a mouthful!
41	* In ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' Episode 3 (original anime series), the Angel crew unearths a missile they recovered from a trash-collecting expedition. A little while after it starts talking to them, it introduces itself as [=MA347612890 GT40785791 32RS2400Z 17924398 TZRS 2000 modular semiconductor type 452963752391 MQTO GLS-equipped self-computing 0037 293165734285 YGNKTI 0120 YMCA 4126 PPPKG lower-right KKP 53 Normad=]. [[MotorMouth Only about a third of this is intelligible without the DVD subtitles.]]
42	* ''Manga/GamblingEmperorLegendZero'': Kotarou's full name is Kotarou Hill Mountain Williams Harrison Jagasatake James Shiroyama. This then later pops up as a question asked in the quiz show Zero plays.
43	* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'':
44	** Taken to the extreme with the name of Kyuubei's ape, which is [[OverlyLongGag Jugem-Jugem Poop-Throwing Machine Shin-chan's Day Before Yesterday Underwear Shinpachi's Life Balmunk Fezarion Isaac Schneider One Thirds Pure Feeling Two Thirds Worried-Over-a-Hangnail Feeling Though Betrayal Knows My Name I Know The Unknown, The Cuttlefish Tastes Kind Of Different Than It Did Last Time Because It Was Caught Near The Pond And Served With Oil From A Hoofed Mammal, pepepepepepepepepepepepe Bichiguso-maru]]. And they always call it by its full name.
45	** In the anime, it's changed to Jugem-Jugem Shit-Tossing The Life Of Shin-Chan's Two-Day-Old Underwear Balmung Fezalion Isaac Schneider 1/3 True Love 2/3 Hangnail Anxiety Betrayal Knows My Name Or Does It Really Ignore Calls Squid Dogfish Halibut Trout-Cod Dogfish This Is A Different Dogfish I'm Talking About The Dogfish Shark Kaluga Angler Ray Yuuteimiyaoukimukou pepepepepepepepe Runny Diarrhea.
46	** Everyone except Shinpachi knows the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon.
47	* In ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'', the real name of Hime Shirayuki is Himelda Window Cure Queen of the Blue Sky. It's actually quite hilarious when Iona constantly calls her that name and it takes her five seconds to go through it all. Hime obviously tells her to just call her "Hime."
48	* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'':
49	** Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, one of the main characters.
50	** [[spoiler:Alucard, primary agent of the Hellsing Organization, formerly Prince Vlad III of Wallachia, Vlad Tepes Dracula ("the impaler" and "son of Dracul / The Dragon" respectively).]]
51	* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
52	** "[[MoeAnthropomorphism My name is England.]] My official name is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It will come up in the test later!"
53	** The personifications of ''other'' nations/regions with long names in real life naturally have these. Take, for example, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
54	* Musical example: The third ending theme of ''Manga/TheLawOfUeki'' is called "Kono Machi de wa Dare Mo ga Mina Jibun Igai no Nani Ka ni Narita garu."
55	* ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' has the diminutive German witch Constanze Amalie von Braunschbank Albrechtsberger. The commentator of a broom-riding competition even said she was the "bane of announcers."
56	* In ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'', Rikka has a parasol that she has named "Schwarzsechs Prototype Mark II." The absurd length of the name is [[LampshadeHanging referenced]] by Yuuta in Episode 10 when it falls off a bridge and Rikka calls its full name before it even falls out of sight.
57	* After her [[HappilyAdopted adoption]], Fate Testarossa from ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' becomes Fate Testarossa-Harlaown. It's usually shortened to just Fate T. Harlaown.
58	* ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'' has Drakon, whose full name turns out to be Dragul Nol Henrius Govius Menudias Partenuvonomias Dumid Os Kartanon. His nickname comes from when a teenage Sinbad outright refused to memorize the whole thing.
59	* Aram from ''Manga/MeruPuri'''s full name is Astale Ei Daemonia Eucharistia Aram.
60	* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Bakugo's hero name, [[spoiler:Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight]], has Ida call it "a mouthful" (which doesn't stop him from addressing him with the whole thing in the very next chapter). Even the villains, Mr. Compress and Spinner, can't help but call it "tacky" and "super tacky".
61	* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
62	** The Land of Fire's Feudal Lord offers "Land of Fire's Konohagakure, Land of Wind's Sunagakure, Land of Earth's Iwagakure, Land of Water's Kirigakure, Land of Lightning's Kumogakure Allied Shinobi Decoration" as the name for a war honor, which the other feudal lords immediately shut down for being too long.
63	** As a child, [[spoiler:the First Hokage Senju Hashirama]] invented a technique which he called "Secret Taijutsu Super Katon Genjutsu Cutting Big Shuriken Double Drop Technique."
64	** [[spoiler:The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze]] is prone to giving his attacks comically long and grandiose names, and tries to give one to a CombinationAttack by Naruto and Sasuke. (Being an impromptu creation they came up with mid-battle, Naruto and Sasuke didn't bother to name it right away, leaving [[spoiler:Minato]] feeling that it needed a name.)
65	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
66	** [[spoiler:Kagurazaka Asuna]]'s name sounds normal, until it is revealed to be fake, with the real, forgotten name being [[spoiler:Asuna Vesperina [[MeaningfulName Theotanasia]] Entheofushia]], showing a love of this trope.
67	** And now in the flashback, we have Negi's MissingMom, Arika Anarchia Entheofushia of Vespertatia.
68	** Also Evangeline [[MeaningfulName Atha]][[{{Immortality}} nasia]] Katherine [=MacDowell=], with the two middle names usually initialized for short. Just don't call her "[[EmbarrassingNickname Kitty]]", if you value your health. [[spoiler:Same goes for "Loli Grandma", unless you're [[CrazyIsCool Jack Rakan]].]]
69	** One of Jack Rakan's aliases is: "That Damn Guy You Can Stab With Swords All You Like And It Won't Do A Thing, Damnit!"
70	* ''Anime/NurseWitchKomugi'' features Kim Nicholas Fidel Muammar Tikriti Adolf de Komachi. Interestingly, most of the names seem to come from dictators: (Kim) Jong Il, (Fidel) Castro, (Muammar) Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein (al-Tikriti) and (Adolf) Hitler!
71	* In ''Anime/OnePieceFilmGold'', the captain of the Long Long Pirates, appropriately enough, has an extremely long name himself, so long infact that when Luffy [[CurbStompBattle finishes him off]] he's still not done enouncing his full name and is cut short.
72	* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'''s Tamaki has a long name compared to the rest of the cast. In the manga we learn that his full name is René Tamaki Richard Grantaine Suou. "Suou" wasn't added in the manga when he said it, but since his name is Tamaki Suou it's probably implied. The mix of Japanese and French names emphasizes his half-French heritage.
73	* In one episode of the ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl Diamond and Pearl]]'' series, ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]'' chose to decisively end the confusion regarding whether "Joy" was Nurse Joy's given name or family name [[note]]''Literature/PocketMonstersTheAnimation'', written by Creator/TakeshiShudo, already stated that "Junsar" (Officer Jenny) and "Joy" are surnames, but the books [[NoExportForYou never made it out of Japan]] and are viewed as an AlternateContinuity to the anime[[/note]] by showing [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals one]] [[UncannyFamilyResemblance Joy]] with two daughters. Their names? Marnie Frances Lynnette Joy and Paige Frances Lynnelle Joy ([[DubNameChange originally]] Sayaka [[GenderBlenderName François]] Joy and Mai [[GenderBlenderName François]] Joy). This, coming from [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} a franchise]] where most of the named characters who aren't Professors [[NoFullNameGiven have no known surnames]]. For bonus points, there's the [[GratuitousFrench French]] middle names years before [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Kalos]] was a thing.
74	* ''Resort Boin'' has an absurd example: Mika Kuouzumiaiginsusutakeizumonokamimeichoujin.
75	* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': The reason everyone calls Chibiusa with that nickname is that her real name is Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity Tsukino. As she likes the nickname, Chibiusa added it to her name.
76	* One of the main protagonists in ''Manga/ServantXService'' has such a long name that she is usually presented as Yamagami Lucy (abbrv.) [[note]]The full extent of her name is unclear and one variant has her name as "Yamagami Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Chihoko Ayano Fumika Chisato Nae Mikiko Ichika Yukino Rena Eri Ai Tamiko Chiaki Emilia Juria Shizue Erina Kazusa Yumeka Natsuki Rara Rieko Setsuri Chikako Azumi"[[/note]] Her overly long name has been a [[BerserkButton sore point]] to her since young, since it's because her parents couldn't decide which name to give her and decided to go with ''all of them''[[note]]As the other characters put it, a modern-day [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugemu Jugemu]][[/note]], and one of her reasons for joining the civil service is to find out the identity of the sloppy bureaucrat who approved that decision.
77	* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': AscendedExtra Masayoshi Yoshiokadaira. Kululu's inventions get hit by this a lot.
78	* ''Manga/ShouwaGenrokuRakugoShinjuu'': In the second cour, Konatsu performs the famous Rakugo story [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugemu "Jugemu"]] for a delighted kindergarten audience. The story is about a boy whose father asks a priest for a list of auspicious baby names, and when he can't make up his mind, he decides to name him ''all'' of them. Therefore, his 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. It's a RunningGag with SerialEscalation because every character in the story refers to Jugemu by his full name every single time they have to refer to him, and Konatsu milks their increasing exasperation for all the comedy it's worth.
79	* ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'':
80	** All royals have long names. One of the four protagonists, [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune]], is the best example, as whenever she gives out a [[JusticeWillPrevail justice speech]] to an opponent, she often says her full name along with it!
81	** [[spoiler:Gracia Ul Naga Saillune, who is also protagonist Lina's UnknownRival Naga the Serpent.]]
82	* In ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'', Candy Pakupaku's real name is "Candy Super Quick Pass and Smile Sparktchi."
83	* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'''s soundtrack has many songs with incredibly long titles. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrBfWHEg6ps "Rappu ha Otoko no Tamashii da! Onore wo Shinjite Ten wo Yubisasu Dotou no Otoko Kamina-sama no Teema wo Mimi no Ana Kappojitte Yo~ku Kikiyagare!!"]]... which, in English, translates into "Rap is the Soul of a Man! Perk Up Your Earholes and Listen REAL Close to the Theme of Lord Kamina, the Man of Raging Billows Who Believes in Himself and Points to Heaven!!"
84	* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'':
85	** Parodied in "Murder Machine". When Vash first meets Wolfwood, he gives an extremely long and convoluted string of names for an alias: "Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumbigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andry Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser ''the Third''. Don't hesitate to call." [[TheDitz Milly]] then blurts out his true identity, which causes Vash to burst into tears and wail, "I hate it when you call me by my full name!"
86	*** Even better: The scene cuts after "George" and comes back for the end, implying that the name he gives is significantly longer.
87	** One of the various answers offered for the question of what the D in Nicholas D. Wolfwood's name stands for was "Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora", {{Yakuza}} slang for "What the hell family do you think you're from!? I'm gonna tie you up in a reed mat and dunk ya!"
88	* In ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'', one story in the anthology episode has the girls trying to figure out what to call their newest super attack, each member of the team throwing out name suggestions (including parts of the name from the famous ''Jugemu'' rakugo story). They ultimately decide to combine all of them. This leads to a ''forty second long name'' that concludes with the monster having just ran away before they could finish.
89	* In the manga ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', one episodic story featured an alien pyramid scheme salesman named "Super Delicious Planetary Golden Special Reserve Gorgeous After Care Kid". Oh and this particular guy had a "No. 28" attached to his name as years ago, Lum and Ran as kids encountered a different salesman "No. 5" who worked the Ogre system.
90	* ''Anime/VoltesV'': AllThereInTheManual material reveals that Katherine's full name is Katherine de Pharoah Rii. This makes her the only Boazanian in the series with a confirmed middle name.
91	* In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', Misawa uses an anime-only monster against Tania called "Conduction Warrior Linear Magnum Plus-Minus." (Fans have joked that the biggest reason it's not a real card is because there's no font size that would make the name fit on one.)
