I have a short name and all my kids i give long names. I write my name much faster then when i write my kids' name. So i regret why i should give them long names. Actually which one is better, having a short name or long name?

Long names are cooler because people remember strange names. And you'll be remembered wherever you go.

I have a long last name. when I was younger and in school it took me along time to learn how to write it. So I would say it is better to have a short name.

it depends on the parents giving the name..if they think its good why not...but by giving names ones should consider if the child will like or appreciate it when he grows up

I like long names bcos it sounds good and a bit funny too these days.people after hearing such names have a different reaction and this makes one very different from others.I like being different but what about u!do u too prefer long names.

Short or Long doesnt matter, I believe names effect people's personalities so I'll suggest naming them after people who are successfull in life and have great personalities would be a good idea, just my point of view.

i give my kids name after a successful person, like his first name is Kautsar (i took from alquran), middle name is Kasparov (i took from the World chess champion) and the last name is Utsadetti (my fam name). This three name is very long compared with my neigbor name like, Cikrak, Sapu, Untung, Juned, etc. They have only one word. So they triple faster writing down their names than my kid is.
