A Man Gets Into the Guinness Book of World Records for the Longest Name

A man with the longest name in the world has been recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records due to his absolute mouthful of a title. Born Laurence Gregory Watkins, a man from New Zealand legally changed his name on March 8, 1990, leaving him with 2,310 first names and one last name. Uh... so many questions!

Typing the whole name of the man here would be a nearly impossible task. However, a few of his personal favorites from his title include "Cadog," "Hanibal," Cherry," "Narcissus," and "Sherlock." It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to realize that Laurence is rather besotted with his ginormous title since he calls himself @name2310 on Twitter and adorns his account with a blue checkmark thanks to the app's verification membership service.
