Still Waters Posted September 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2013 A woman in Hawaii with a 35-letter surname has persuaded the island's authorities to change their ID card and driving licence formats because her long name will not fit. Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele said she would never consider using a shortened version, and so used the media to urge officials to take action. http://news.sky.com/...-letter-surname 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted September 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Good for her, if that's her name then they should respect it and let her use it. I wonder what that means in Hawaiian.....anybody from Hawaii here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skep B Posted September 24, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It really does seem silly to me. just change your name legally, and go by the name you want. It's why I make my coworkers and loved ones call my Lord SKeptic the 8th 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
