Duck. I dont how to phrase this question

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.
Estradivarius. 5 syllables.
E-strad-i-var-i-us . 6, right?
Oh, I’m not sure. In Spanish it’s es-tra-di-va-rius.

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

Nothing, Vishnu with you?
Gesundheit!
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.
