History OverlyLongName / Literature

** From ''Literature/CaptainVorpatrilsAlliance'': Tej, whose full name when she enters the story is Akuti Tejaswini Jyoti ghem Estif Arqua. [[spoiler:It gets even longer when she married Ivan Vorpatril]]. Her father found a book entitled ''Ten Thousand Authentic Ethnic Baby Names From Old Earth, Their Meanings and Geographical Origins'' and was apparently attempting to use as many of them as possible on his children. They have half a dozen each, which they boiled down to a nickname. Note that despite the "ghem Estif" surname, Tej's grandmother Lady Moira ghem Estif is actually ''the haut''[[note]]The transhuman aristocracy of the Cetaghandan Empire[[/note]]. We're lucky that the haut titles (which include the full genetic history) are dropped when the haut wives are given to the ghem lords as prizes, though their ''names'' are pretty mundane -- like Moira or Nicole.

* ''Tikki Tikki Tembo'', an American children's book about "why Chinese people have short names"[[note]]Please note that this story was written by an American and has no actual grounding in Chinese history or folklore[[/note]]," involves a young boy named... Tikki-tikki-tembo No-sa-rembo Chari-bari-ruchi Pip-peri-pembo.[[note]]Translation: "The Most Wonderful Thing in the Whole Wide World"[[/note]] The story involves characters forced to say the name multiple times as they report him having fallen into a well. In early versions of the story, it takes so long to organize a rescue that the unfortunate Tikki-tikki-tembo No-sa-rembo Chari-bari-ruchi Pip-peri-pembo drowns. In the more well known children's book, [[NeverSayDie he just barely survives]].

* ''Literature/TheSunlitMan'': One of the inhabitants of Beacon is named Adonalsium-Will-Remember-Our-Plight-Eventually.

He tells the others to always request for his true-name, but by the end of the story forgets, because StatusQuoIsGod.

-->Era un nombre demasiado largo para una persona tan menuda. Se llamaba Beatriz María Magdalena de los Ángeles Osorio y Castroviejo. Y medía apenas noventa y siete centímetros. Por eso, tal vez, todo el mundo prefería llamarla sencillamente Porota. Y con este nombre se le conocía en todas partes.[[note]]It was overly-long name for such a tiny person. Her name was Beatriz María Magdalena de los Ángeles Osorio y Castroviejo. And she was barely thirty-eight inches tall. For this reason, perhaps, everybody preferred to simply call her Porota. And she with this name she was known everywhere.[[/note]]
