Anyone know what the maximum length of an avatar's name can be? What's the longest name you have ever run into?

You'll probably get some idea by going here..
http://slnamewatch.com/ also quite a good place to acquire that name you always wanted. Astrid |

Keiki I just checked the knowledge base and can't find it. For some reason the SL website has teeny tiny fonts right now. I remember someone having a name with a ton of 0's and 1's.
Maybe go through the motions of making an alt with a bunch of random letters and see when it rejects you for too long? I know this came up before so if you do this it would be great if you could post your findings here. EDIT: Nevermind the teeny tiny fonts. That was because I used the same tab I had flickr on before. _____________________

First name has a maximum of 31 characters - largest last name I have seen so far was 14 characters, for a total of 46 counting the space between the first and last name.

And now for something completely different:
06-05-2008 16:07
Figgis: Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Panties...I'm sorry...Schumann, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Bach. Names that will live for ever. But there is one composer whose name is never included with the greats. Why is it that the world never remembered the name of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm? To do justice to this man, thought by many to be the greatest name in German Baroque music, we present a profile of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm. We start with an interview with his only surviving relative Karl Gambolputty de von Ausfern... (fades out)
Cut to old man sitting blanketed, in wheel-chair, as he speaks, intercut with shot of interviewer nodding and looking interested. Karl: Oh ja. When I first met Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm, he was with his wife, Sarah Gambolputty de von... Interviewer: (as he speaks intercut with shots of Karl nodding and trying to look interested) Yes, if I may just cut in on you there, Herr Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm, and ask you - just quickly - if there's any particular thing that you remember about Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm? No response. He shakes the old man, then gets up and listens to his heart. Realizing with exasperation that his interviewee has died, he starts digging a grave. Cut back to presenter. Figgis: A tribute to Johann Gambolputty... Cut to Viking. Viking: ...de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter... Cut to weedy man in pullover with National Health specs. Man: ...crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle... Cut to knight in armour. Knight in Armour: ...dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher... Cut to a succession of animated characters. Mona Lisa: ...apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic... Lon Chaney: ...grander- knotty- spelltinkle... Policeman: ...grandlich... Pig: ...grumblemeyer... Policeman: ...spelterwasser... Boar: ...kurstlich- himbleeisen... Botticelli Lover: ...bahnwagen- gutenabend... Medieval Couple: ...bitte- ein- nürnburger... Family Group: ...bratwustle... Doctor: ...gerspurten... Bishop & Saint: ...mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut... Two Dancers: ...gumberaber- shönedanker... Three Naked Ladies: ...kalbsfleisch... Cricket Team: ...mittler- aucher... Policemen: ...von Hautkopft... Figgis: ...of Ulm. _____________________

I figured the winner would be someone named after that stupid Hawaiian fish. Get rid of the spaces and it would make a cool name - with 10 characters left still. /me wanders off to see if there is a cool last name that would go with it. _____________________
