I was just wondering how come it is too long, and there are a lot of DE ´s (i.e. from / von / fon / O � / etc.) I guess it means Pablo the son of this mother and the son of this father from this and this place. That to me isn ´t a name .... If you know what i mean.

I think that people from Europe used to have such long names because they didn ´t want to give up their noble ancestors names. They must have been so proud to "carry" these names!
When I was a child (it was looong time ago...) I found my name too long (Zailda Prates Mendes Coirano) so I abbreviated it and I ´m so used to write only the first and the last that I hardly remember the middle ones!
Have a great weekend!
