      Even over here, that’s an excessive number of names.

      Every name you have past 3 is pretty much a chance of toff multiplier

          Spanish names are different because they’re familial. Most of this guy’s names are given. Strictly speaking, in the Anglosphere, only the final name is familial (though it may rarely have spaces in it), the rest are given.
