Overly Long Spanish Name	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })a.k.a. Los Nombres Españoles Son Demasiado Largos One thing that can actually be Truth in Television is that Spanish names, because of various Hispanic countries' naming conventions, are really long. Thus, a common gag used whenever there's a Hispanic or Latino (and, for the purpose of stereotype, this includes Portuguese) character is to have them or someone else say their full name out loud. It may be done once when other characters don't know the name, and they reply to only the first name before the person calling them continues... and continues... and continues... letting the unaware friends' jaws drop more. Similarly, it is particularly effective when contrasted with another character's much shorter name for a one-time gag. It can also be used in this way in those instances when a parent gets angry and stops using their child's nickname, with the implication being that they're even more mad because they've recited half the Bible by the time they're done with just the name. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It can also be done on a more regular basis, like a Running Gag being that even if one character is always called Tom, their Hispanic friend has no nickname and so their entire name is always used. Another scenario may be that the characters don't have very much time and yet they still choose to use the person's full name — or choose to use it for the first time in such a moment. It of course is also used when the character is acting proud and wants to use their full name, but has taken so long to get to the point that they have alienated everyone instead. The gag may also come from reciting the name being seemingly normal, until the characters seem to add some random Spanish-sounding words or things, or even a Shout-Out to a famous person's name buried within their name somewhere. Not only is this funny, but it maintains length even if the creators only know a few Spanish names they don't want to repeat. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Unlike other situations where a character is given an overly long name only for humor, with Spanish names it is typically done with the suggestion of realism (and is certainly done in more serious shows and serious comedies) that, somehow, makes it even funnier, because it's not them simply having a long name that is a joke, it's having a genuine long name that they take seriously that is what's supposed to be funny. This trope might be Older Than Steam, and at the very least Older Than Radio, since an urban legend on the subject can be traced to 1710 at least. Sub-Trope to Overly Long Name. See other National Stereotypes of Hispanic characters, and the Useful Notes on Spanish Naming Conventions. Examples:

The pirates are happy because they believe that he is a noble and will ask for a great ransom for him. In the end it is revealed that in reality his name is much shorter and humble and he is not a noble, but our protagonists do not care, since they consider him a friend.
