It is safe to say that your name is an important component of your identity because people will probably ask you what it is when they first meet you.
As a result, if you have a tough name to say or spell, you could find life to be a little more difficult.
But some parents still decide to give their kids unusual names, and social media has made it easier for us to learn about and be inspired by these decisions. Or not.
On September 12, 1984, a girl was born who also had the longest name ever registered. Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams was the name she was given by her parents.
But. In just three weeks, they changed her name to one that had 1,019 letters and acquired a birth certificate that was two feet long.
Because of her unusual name, media outlets were keen to focus on her. Jameshauwnnel says that she likes using her entire given name, despite finding it difficult to pronounce and spell.
Sandra, Jamie's mother, wanted to write two pieces of history: one for Guinness World Records and one for Jamie's name. Her birth certificate is two feet long, and her name set a Guinness World Record.
If Jamie wanted to use her birth name, she had to make an effort. She finally taped her name and practised it over and again until she had perfected it.
