What's in a name? A bunch of letters, hopefully, arranged so that you can pronounce it. Take a look at the most popular names over the past 100 years.

Don't worry. If you're late, they'll find you.
Imagine bringing that to the vet to have its nails clipped.

His "nail clippers" would be a cut-off saw.
If you were a vet, would you activate a cutoff saw around something like that?

OK. People names are one thing. Place names are another thing. Take for example the longest place name in the World...being a 1,000-foot hill in New Zealand named after Tamatea, who was a legendary Maori explorer who traversed across the vast lands of New Zealand. To honor his exploits, the Maori people named a hill after him, and to show their true adoration, they used an entire sentence. The 85 character toponym translates literally to “the summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.”

Imagine addressing an envelope.
Other places do that with names. An entire sentence becomes one word. I guess it's okay if you speak the language.
