I recently tried to book a flight for a friend with the surname Hariharasubramanian. It’s not just a funny indian names entry because of its length, but it literally exceeded the character limit on the digital form!
While these long South Indian names are "brilliant" in their complexity, do they create a "black hole" of administrative stress for you?
I’m curious if you’ve had to truncate your name just to fit into the "galaxy" of modern databases. Is the move toward shorter, punchier names a "mammoth" loss for cultural heritage, or just a practical necessity?
