"FULL METAL HAVOK MORE SEXY N INTELLIGENT THAN SPOCK AND ALL THE SUPERHEROES COMBINED WITH FROSTNOVA."

That is the name a man from Dunedin, New Zealand came up with to change his name. At 99 characters, it is the longest legally allowed by the country's Department of Internal Affairs.
Mr. Frostnova's name change reportedly comes five years after he lost a poker bet. The 22-year-old was apparently waiting for his passport to expire before making good on his debt.

The New Zealand Herald has the Ts&Cs of kiwi naming conventions:
In 2008, Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt publicly criticised some parents' choice of names, after he ordered that a girl named Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii be taken into court custody so she could change her name.
The DIA has to draw the line somewhere. If it didn't, people might get carried away.

I always thought Charity Beckwith would be a nice name.
