The Longest Name EVER!
It’s amazing how having a kid takes you out of the loop for a while. Thanks to everyone who’s been commenting and reading. Now it’s onward and upward.
Last week I ran across this article in Mental Floss magazine that’s apropos.
When I was researching The Book I actually came across this name (the longest name in recorded history, supposedly), Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenberger-

i can’t even say it and i’m 12!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! WHO WOULD NAME A KID THAT!!
your rite. it is impossible to say that. the last name looks like a lot of lastnames put together lol
it’s so long
This is german. And from what it says, I’m guessing it isn’t part of his name but actually a description of who he is or something to that effect. It talks about sheperds being worried about attacks. I didn’t read the whole thing because without spaces and umlauts it is hard.
wow… that is certainly strange, and long, but i agree with the last comment, it does seem to be about the person
The third line down mentions “twelve thousand years.” It looks like a small bit of literary prose that had all the spaces taken out of it.
It’s not even a particularly poetic piece of prose, I might add. Looks like it was taken from some sort of science fiction novel, as it’s talking about mass exodus from an endangered planet into space. Yeah. Mmm-hmm.
Hubert Wolfschlegelstein et cetera was in the Philadelphia telephone directory in the 1950s and 1960s.
Obviously, they only listed his name as Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff. If Verizon has records, they could verify that he lived in Philadelphia. I hope he’s still around, but am as curious as anyone else how they will memorialize him.
Tis cant be real the middle names are the alphabet look
Adolf Blaine Charles David
A B C D ect
who the hell would name there child that
hehhee its so funny in a weird name. maybe they couldn’t name there kid!! poor kid….
i was lookin at the last name and in the last name if you look closely at the 4th line going up you will see anderer and weirdly “intelligent”
I think thats way too long but then again I would have to agree it is pretty intelligent that they used all of the alphabet letters maybe he won’t forget his A B C’S lol…. But I hate to say it but my little girls name is gonna be PRAVANA NIKOLE AUBURN KATHRYN KRYSTAL MICHELLE MARIE JADE EVE and watever her daddy’s last name is i think its so pretty and it means so many different things you’ll just have to look at each name carefully to understand it and Tell me wat you think I really wanna no your comments on this name thanx bye…
Dude…
THAT IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is german and total bulshit, it just a bunch or german words put together…it makes no sese….and “between” and ” and, it, the”
seriously
who ever believed that is so dumb what part of legend don’y u understand there not really. stupid bitches!
i feel bad for her
It’s very long name…..
This is the craziest thing a parent can do giving their baby so long name .
How come the parents name their kids like that?
I don’t think that such a long name create any sense.
I think this is a bluff or a fiction……
