Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I work with data, and just today I found the longest name in our database, it was 46 characters long counting spaces and it consisted of three names and three surnames (which in reality is only two, but one is twice as long).

Mine is 37 characters long and I have two first names and a "Del". My girlfriend's is 33 and she has three first names.

The "De", "Del", "La", "Los", "De La" etc, count as part of a surname. For example "Del Río" is a surname.

For the exaggerated example I gave before, I chose a Telenovela sounding name, those are very uncommon but do exist in the wild. For more examples, I'd recommend you check out spanish royalty names, they are a lot longer and include a bunch of titles a la 'king of the Andals and the First Men, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm' but with saint names and things like that.

Heh, I got 33 characters (31 not counting the "de") in mine and that's because I didn't get more than one first name since my parents preferred it that way, but everyone here often gets two.

In mine the de is a separator and we often omit it. So I wouldn't count it.

Yeah royalty names get crazy, even there noble ones, they want to display all origins and since they inbred with all the possible houses at this point they got a lot of stickers to flaunt about.

Just found the 3 first names unusual and interesting =)
