The Big Discovery

I come across many different kinds of names everyday.
Hundreds each day.
I encountered the longest name I have known a few days back.

Thirugnanasambhandan

A whopping 20 letters for a one word name. It's as long as

kaninabeichaocheebye

which consists of 20 letters too.

Wow.
I didn't know names could be that long you know. Is there such a need for names to be that long? I don't mean to be rude or insulting, but it's just fucking hard to pronounce when you need to call them. Most of the time people wouldn't bother to call the full name. They would, in this case, call Thiru in short. And chances are, either he won't be responding or another guy with a similar name would come to the front.
Isn't it better to keep a name short and sweet?
A one word name of 20 letters is just inappropriate if you ask me.

Speaking of names,
would you ever name your son 'Dick'?
Knowing that he would be made fun of in the future.
And it's more of an insult than a name.
A word which you scold someone when he messes things up.
Nevertheless, there are still people around with a name like this.

Another name to try avoid having would be 'Harry'.
Imagine yourself in the working society and meeting different kinds of new people.
'Hi, I am Harry.'
'Hi, this is my friend. He's Harry.'
Of course people would be thinking that your name is Harry.
But don't you think it's plain rude to be telling others how hairy you are?
And if you don't look hairy in your appearance, God knows where else others would think of which is as hairy as you have said.
