Most American names are too short anyway. A person's name should sound like a poem about their background.

Who wouldn't want a name like María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien?

Interestingly, her father was a mechanical engineering professor and her mother a French and English teacher. She can't speak either Spanish or Gaelic fluently in spite of the sound of her name.
