You know, I've always heard that names of important muslims are freakin' long. I didn't know that is it actually thiiiiiiiiis long.
May I present you Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei:
Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Al-Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Almarhum Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien
Can he remember his own name?

His highness' name actually is not that lengthly; It is the concatenation of his title + his name + his father's title + his father's name :-)
I see. But it's still such a 'burden' to carry such a 'weight'...
Well, I guess nothing ever seems to be too overly done when it comes to being kings. I'm just amazed, that's all.
The Mother of All Long Roundabout Names.

Angmoh tourist: "Excuse me, how do I get to the library?"
Local Sarawakian: "Oh that's easy! From here, go along Jalan Datuk Abang Abdul Rahim, turn right at Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman and drive until you reach Bulatan Datuk Temenggong Abang Kipali Bin Abang Akip. Do a 3 o'clock towards Jalan TunKU Abdul Rahman, make a left at Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce and drive until you reach the roundabout at Bulatan Datuk Amar Abang Haji Suleiman Bin Haji Taha. Exit at Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, then turn left at Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho. Soon you'll reach Bulatan Datuk Menteri Abang Haji Mohammad Zin Bin Haji Salleh, where you should turn into Jalan Tun Datuk Patinggi Abang Haji Muhammad Salahuddin until you arrive Bulatan Datuk Patinggi Abang Haji Abdillah Bin Datuk Bandar Abang Haji Mohammad Kassim.
The library is just on your left. Any questions?"
Angmoh tourist: "Huh?"
