Ottovordemgentschenfelde

Here is Anna. She is in my family tree. A man claims the title of the longest name. But, what about Svenja? I will work her into my Victoria Bond novel.

Belle was so cute when she emphasized the need for folks to know their ancestors. Her father is German. We have a Junker, a noble.

A German man called Bernd Ottovordemgentschenfelde is reportedly going into the record books for having the longest name in the country.

The 45-year-old floor tiler from the Rhineland says he has trouble getting his name to fit on official forms, as well as the side of his van.

He often has to shorten his name for credit cards, while his wife Sylvia, 45, and daughter Nadine, 14, have both shortened their last name to Gentschenfelde.

“My father wanted to give me a second first name,” he said. “But my mother successfully stopped that!”

Judth Schwanke, a name expert from the University of Leipzig in Germany, confirmed he currently has the longest name on record, at 24 letters.
