You might notice that this video of an Australian man with the world's longest name (I'll spare you the 2,253 words) is an hour long.

[Can't help but try a language warning here; you'll see what I mean if you make it far enough 🀣]

The longest personal name has 2,253 unique words and belongs to Laurence Watkins (Australia).

But ... why???

From UPI:

'I was always fascinated by the quirky unusual records that some people went for and I really wanted to be part of that scene,' he told Guinness World Records. 'I read the Guinness World Records book from cover to cover to see if there was a record I could beat and the only one I had a chance at beating was adding more names than the current holder.'

Bro literally changed his name in 1990 so he could have the world's longest name!

There was a lot of paperwork involved in this, as you might imagine. And laws had to be written in Australia afterwards to avoid similar name changes.
