    A girl I knew was called, and I shit you not: Estradivarius. 5 syllables. Yes, the same name as the clothing store which itself named after the string instrument.

        Oh, I’m not sure. In Spanish it’s es-tra-di-va-rius.

          Okay, good to hear someone else say this about Spanish. Like how “diez” is much closer to 1 syllable than 2

    I work with a lot of folks in India with super long names and they generally have a shorter version everyone calls them by.

    I think the longest for someone I’ve met is “Vishnuvardhan” but everyone calls him Vish.

    Then the problem is having a dozen Vish’s.

    In Spain, four syllable names aren’t rare. Antonio or Ignacio are quite common. Isidoro and Wenceslao, are more rare but I’ve met some.

    Then there are composite names that might seem two names but are considered a single one, like José María or Francisco Javier.

    Rasmus-Nikolaj, with a hyphen, counts as one name right?

    One of my teachers’ son is named such. Was to be named Ib but they found that too short, and then couldn’t agree on their favorite alternatives so they chose both. With a hyphen.
