I hope his parents had to write out EVERY letter of this crazy name on every application for anything he had to be registored for when he was a child.

FabulousFaith50000, at least the Kindergartner is able to write the letters of the alphabet because all of his first names start with the alphabet. We can see why that and the last name was shortened.

German Language is interesting because the reason for long words to exist is, because in German it is not allowed to have noun clusters. While in English you will just write a bunch of nouns to describe the final noun, Germans just leave out those unnecessary spaces and form one word out of it. That is why the name is very long unless you are a German

good question but I think the explanation got carried away. my full name is 10 parts long, yet for convenience, I shorten it as I do a high risk job, where communication is key & is limited + if we had a name like the above, we'd shorten it for ease & convenience.
