The funniest thing about the "longest-name-dude" is that a lot of the German words make up sentences, talking about exploring space and living together with alien intelligences. Senior
Its pretty much a story, and it goes like this: "Ages ago, there were conscientious shepherds whose sheep were well tended and carefully protected against attack by their rapacious enemies. Twelve hundred thousand years ago there appeared before these first earthmen, at night, a spaceship powered by seven stone and iridium electric motors. It had originally been launched on its long trip into stellar space in the search for neighboring stars that might have planets revolving about them that were inhabitable and on which planets a new race of intelligent humanity might propagate itself and rejoice for life, without fear of attack by other intelligent beings from interstellar space."

I feel so bad for those people with 746 letters in their name have to take 15 minutes to write their name on paper.
especially because his name describes him as someone with who is in a spacecraft towards a star with planets etc., it's basically the story of his life but all with really bad German grammar and spelling xD
Idk how his parents got the "spacecraft towards other solar systems"-concept in 1904 but ok...
oh so you mean polish people

Bad German spelling and grammar? That would be Dutch not Polish people :P
lol i have a name 5 letters long
"Dad, why did you choose to name my sister Paris?"

Mother: This child is a miracle! It is deserving of a name that reflects the actions involved and how it came to be. As well as a name that symbolizes how when the seed of love is sown between two people, the harvest that follows can produce such a beautiful gift!
Father: That's great honey, what did you have in mind?
Mother: SEX FRUIT

Can you name your kid 99? I want to name my child after the best soldier.
I knew a lady (not my friend) from Cuba named Usnavy. She was born when a bunch of soldiers from the US Navy made an appearance on their hometown and was a historic event at the time. Usnavy.
MisakiLeasim lol that reminds me of Usnavi from the musical 'In The Heights'.
My brother had this babysitter named Windy and everytime she said her name we would ask (and correct) her if or not it was the more common 'Wendy.' Turns out it was indeed Windy because she said she was born on an extremely windy day in typhoon-prone Philippines.
I really hate to be a stickler, but US Navy personnel are called sailors, not soldiers.
*_I AM USNAVI AND YOU PROB’LY NEVER HEARD MY NAME REPORTS OF MY FAME ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED_*

You can't name your kid "R2-D2", in the U.S, but couldn't you just call him "Artoodeetoo"? :P
Arthur Deethur
My name is not VSauce, Michael.
but your child could be
“Awww, what a cute baby! What’s its name?”
“Midnight 16 Bus Shelter”.
Number 16 Burger King Bus Shelter
Lol
The last thing you'd want in your bus is someone's shelter matresses in it

Dad, why was sister named Lily?
Because son, when she was born, a Lily fell and landed on her head, so we named her Lily.
Cool! Thanks dad.

Key takeaway from this video:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words are merely the smallest element of language capable of containing meaning in isolation and as such, could never directly produce the 4000 Newtons of force per square centimetre required to break bones." - Michael Stevens

Parents: What should we name him?
Adolph!
No, Blaine!
No, Charles!
No, David!
Fine, why not name him all of them?
yea and also this starts with a b c d.....z w.....
Not to sound like the "you must be fun at parties"" But its spelled Adolf not "Adolph"
@@radking9854 you do realize that their are two ways to spell it right?
@@radking9854 It's spelt "Adolph" in the video. I'm pretty Michael does his research.
and apparently he thought he would name his sun that because he's the "Senior"
We have a pretty interesting autoantonym in Icelandic - the noun "hljóð" can mean either "silence" or "a sound"
The lengthening of the phrase “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” seems like something I would do for absolutely no reason.
There is a guy in my school named Lord God Allah. Everyone calls him L.G. It was funny at graduation.

(7:24) sticks and stones may break my bones but words are mealy the smallest element of language capible of containing meaning and icolation and as such could never directly produce the 4,000 nutons of 4 per square centimeter required to break bones.
