You could't make it up

[Horus]

The other day I used a well known web site to compare car insurance premiums, yes you've guessed it! the one with the Meerkat
Today I received an email request to fill in a short survey on their services, I didn't bother, but when I looked at the sender it was Jesper With-Fogstrup WTF? I kid you not, his name was Jesper With-Fogstrup who the hell dreamed that one up? Alexander or Sergai?

A very well known and successful entrepreneur and business executive.

Heaven knows where his name came from.

He may be well known to you, but I am still trying to work out what a 'Jesper' is With or Without a 'Fogstrup'

Sir

I don't see what the fuss is about.

Double-barreled surnames are not that unusual and typically link two families after marriage .

Dear Irma,
Thank you for your last post regarding double barrelled surnames which I believe were a means of preventing a particular name from becoming extinct due to there being no male heirs. Some like myself who belong to the upper, upper class have taken to using triple barrelled names as in Helena Bonham Carter or even multiple surnames as in Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache

Only double-barrelled?

That's nothing.

The ex-MP for Luton was called Tarquin Fin-Tim-Lim-Bim-Lim-Bin-Bim-Bin-Bim-Bus-Stop-F'tang-F'tang-Ole-Biscuitbarrel.

Oh yes I remember him, I used to howl with laughter when the poor guy reading the results had to say his name.

[BENNU]

It is a Danish name.

Thank you Bennu, now you have pointed it out it does have Scandinavian ring to it.

Full name: “Barnaby Marmaduke Aloysius Benjy Cobweb Dartagnan Egbert Felix Gaspar Humbert Ignatius Jayden Kasper Leroy Maximilian Neddy Obiajulu Pepin Quilliam Rosencrantz Sexton Teddy Upwood Vivatma Wayland Xylon Yardley Zachary Usansky”


Previously known as Barnaby Usansky, this man from Edinburgh held the record for the second longest name of a living person in years 2011-2012, with his 197-letters-long name. He once said: ”I don’t see a point in having a ridiculously long name, if it is not the longest name in the world”. We can definitely see some logic in that, however, Barnaby Usansky’s name was never even close to being world’s longest.

5.Pablo Picasso
