  • My Immortal: The fan-novel follows the ever-dramatic life and times of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, alternatively spelled Enoby Draknsss Demanta Rave Wag and her boyfriends Draco and Vampire, the latter previously known as Harry Potter. Overly long names for Parody Sues have been a mainstay in Potter fandom since at least Order of the Phoenix. It's only that My Immortal made the tradition known outside of the fandom.
  • And now, we here at TV Tropes would like to present the full, unabridged name of the Parody Sue Enoby Expy from Xtremly Scray. Ahem. Hot Topic Shadow Ra'ven Goffica Elvira Deathshade Dragona Corset Fis'hnet Exxorcist Samara Vampirica Eyeliner Bi-Guuyzz Demetria Satanista Misery Mikey Joel Gerard Shadow Kawaii Slytherina Six-Six-Six D'eady Shadow Deathstucchsin Shadow P'e'n't'a'g'r'a'm' Draculana Buffy Bloodrose. Even her birth name Trixie Brittany Lindsay Prepzi is pretty long. The sequel adds Sunset Cynthiella Leighanna Snowflake Tomoko Hermione Charity Grace Mercy Johnnina Indigo Thor Sapphire Libra Tylerelle Williamella Deaninine Jacka Mindy Irene Sarah Hayden Peony Anesthesia Snowflake Moonstone.

  • Atlantiana Rebekah Loren of Forbiden Fruit: The Tempation of Edward Cullen.
  • ToyHammer gives us this little gem: 'Shas'ui Fi'rios Yon'anuk Eldi'myr', which is a Tau name can be condensed (from his language): Fire Sergeant Talon of Fi'rios (a colony). It is also hinted that Commander Firestrike's full name is much, much longer, considering that the Tau collect portions of their names from their achievements and traits rather than simply being named at birth.
  • Fuck The Jesus Beam has the Big Bad named BaROCK Dominatus Caesar Inferno Vespucci Giovanni Goku Super Sexy Awesome Absolute GOD O.B.A.M.A..

  • There is a Harry Potter OC that has so many different family alliances (mother, father, foster father, soulmates, etc) that the name her magical family tree recognized her as was "Elizabeth Grace Anastasia Malfoy-Moss-Flitwick-Flint-Lupin".

    • The full name and title of the leader of the Hooviet Empire's military is Supreme Marshal of the Imperial Armed Forces, General-Admiral Solomon Azure Raven Makarov. This is likely due to his status as a Parody Sue of the Villain Sue trope or possibly because he's actually an existence eating Equineoid Abomination who may have stolen some of the names and titles from his victims.
  • In Living The Dream Seth's full name is Seth Sethity Sethinston The Sethinteenth, most just call him Seth.

  • In the Harry Potter fanfic King of Kings, Ruling over Rulers, due to the old tradition of royal families to stack up names, plus the old tradition of Eastern Roman dynasties to add the names of other prestigious families to their own, when Harry Potter was born (in a matrilineal marriage, therefore he lacks the Potter in his name despite being James's son), his full name became:

Why can't you recruit grirls with nice short names, like Jane Smith? note
