You know your name is too long when...

Your name is bigger than the space allocated on a CTA card. I guess they really need to make those cards bigger With a name like that, how do you fill out standardized forms? To me, it seems like it would be a major hassle.

i love my short name

saves so much time and ink

Signing stuff must be a bitch.


I once made a tool for a friend with really long name. Rather than going to a smaller stamp set to fit his name on it I had a welder weld some steel to hang off one side and then stamped it off on to the welded portion.

How do you even pronounce the name on the card? I have been trying to say it all night but I can't seem to have it roll off the tongue in any meaningful manner yet.

I just sign my name with the initials of my first and last name. saves time. The key is intermingling the letters so they overlap each other, and then drawing an extended line after the second letter so it "looks" like the rest of your name

Appears there may be a G in front of that first name which would make it more pronounceable.


also on standard forms you just fill in as much as the space allows.

I thought it looked like an S? I guess the world may never know...

dude get a hair cut and put on some hair gel, smirk out your lame smile and learn how to pose right.

are you sure that's you? get a life and stop complaining about your name. if you don't like it, get a name change to get a good chunk of your first and last name in.

last, but not least, are you some kinda geek? j/k

edit: that last line was a joke, but the first two are for real. you know how jokes are a half truth? j/k again, but that's a half truth too.

Some brown people have crazy long names. It's probably annoying most of the time, but probably funny to see people trying to pronounce it and give up midway

I'm Indian, but don't have the pain/pleasure of bugging people out with my name. Even white people (no offense) from the most rural areas in the South don't have trouble pronouncing my name.

yeah i've seen NY state DL's with only part of the person's last name with only initials for both the first and middle name... thats crazy!

That's...not him. I figured that was apparent when he said...
