The World Is Made of Individuals and I Am One of Them.
Mr. Laurence Watkins - World Record Holder for the Longest Name
On March 8, 1990, I, Laurence Watkins signed a Deed Poll with the Department of Justice to officially register the longest name in the world. I have 2,310 first names and one family name. I chose Christian names that hold significance to me and my family. I’m proud to be in the Guinness Book of World Records as the individual with the longest name.
The Certificate

The following edition was published internationally. To hold a record in the Guinness Book of World Records, you must achieve a record human feat, as I did with the world’s longest name.

I may have the longest name in the world, but to you, my family and my friends, I’m still Laurence Watkins. Although, I’m honoured to be in the Guinness Book of World Records for my Christian names, as each has profound meaning to me.
