I just found the BEST NAME IN THE WORLD: Admiral The Hon. Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax.
That's right, people. He had three hyphens in his last name. Wikipedia tells me this guy inspired some of P.G. Wodehouse's more hilarious character names (including such gems as "Cyril Bassington-Bassington" – we're not quite clear on whether he's of the Shropshire Bassington-Bassingtons, the Hampshire Bassington-Bassingtons, or the Kent Bassington-Bassingtons – "Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge," and "Gussie Fink-Nottle"). I am not surprised. :D
