Staff Reporter: The American teenager set a world record in the United States with a fancy name of 1,055 characters. The girl’s mother has a long name for her daughter. The first name has 1019 and the middle name has 36 letters. Her current birth certificate is about two feet long. She said this in a recent TV show.
The woman, Sandra Williams, said that when she gave birth to a baby girl, she wanted a fancy name for him. With that in mind, she decided to lengthen her daughter’s name.
However, some parents choose to give unconventional names to their children and with the help of social media, we can all know about it to get inspired. Or not.
These names are often inspired from pop culture – movies, music, books, and even the pandemic! Yes, someone named their kids – Covid, Corona, Sanitise etc.
But this mother had a different approach when she had to name her daughter back in 1984 – Sandra Williams did not want to give a name to her newborn that did not stand out. So, she went a little ‘long’ when it came to choosing her child’s forever indentity.
Initially, the girl’s parents wrote Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams on her birth certificate. Now, that’s long, right? Her parents did not think so.
So, they filed an amendment to the name and changed it to 1,019 letters. They added a 36-letter middle name as well. After the change, the child was known as,

Needless to say, it is safe to believe this broke a Guinness World Record and the child’s birth certificate was 2 ft long.
Don’t worry, the girl prefers to be called Jamie by her friends. She was even featured on Oprah in 1997 with her mother for her unusual name. Oprah had asked the mother: “What were you thinking?”
To this, Sandra had said: “I had to do something to break a Guinness World Record. I had to make sure that her name was going to be unique. I didn’t want her name to be like anybody else’s. Her name had to be different and I had to be in the Guinness book.”
After the Williams’ family broke the record, Texas changed its law and it meant that children could only be given a moniker that would fit within the ‘name’ box on the birth certificate form.
