Teenager Breaks Record With Long Name

Posted by samzenpus on from the capain-idiot-already-taken dept.

A teenager from Glastonbury has changed his name to, Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined. It is thought to be the world's longest name by people who think about such things and is most assuredly among the stupidest. Captain Fantastic said, "I wanted to be unique. I decided upon a theme of superheroes." He added that he thinks his new name is "crazy" and that his grandmother is no longer talking to him.

    And Batman doesn't have any super powers, so who cares about him?

    And whether there are appropriate honorifics relating to the form in which it is written, Oh, He whose name requires three sheets. (Three sheets to the wind, perhaps ...)

    At least he didn't decide to become a "Princess."

  4. Captain Fantastic, I think not by name_already_taken · · Score: 1

    I thought usually people were called by their first and last names, so he should more properly be called "Captain Combined".

    Now that's a stupid sounding name.

    More places should be like Australia or wherever it is where some kind of naming authority can overrule stupid names like this and also prevent parents from giving their children stupid names that hold them back in life.

    And one more thing, is the CSS broken in the preview box? What magic incantation do you have to go through to get a space between paragraphs?

    I'd love to grab this guy by the back of the head and force him headlong through the next 40 years of his life. Watching the expression he has in the photograph change to that which suits the inevitable future of such an attention whore would be a wonderful thing.

      He should change his name to the Big Bad Wolf. But who would do such a silly thing like that?
