I only have one name.
Does that means I am inferior?

There are many reasons you are inferior, but having only one name is not one of them. :hug:

You're saying that cause he's Jewish.  ;)

Try getting that on a gravestone

No need to, he will be buried in the Imperial Crypt in Vienna and will have a number for a gravestone.

It means you're either a caveman or a pretentious actor/model/designer/etc.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

QuoteOtto von Franken was born on an unknown date to Konrad der Ältere (?-906) and Glismut (c866-924) and died circa 917 of unspecified causes. Little is known about Otto.

We hardly knew yi. :(

What was his achievement?
From Wikipedia:
He was baptised Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius

Imho, that is an achivement in itself having such a name and remembering it.
What the fuck's the point of them all?

Just a lot of fun at parties. Especially the ones where you have to wear those sticker tags..."HELLO My name is..."

I presume it is a tribute to all his various ancestors.  After all the Marquis de Lafayette was named "Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier" for that reason so I assume this principal transfers to German aristo-pigs as well.

Otto will always be remembered for his love of Euro unity and his quip about that Austria-Hungary soccer match.  RIP you old fossil.

Not all of them had so many names though, most had 2-4 names, some few had just one, e.g. Frederick II of Prussia. Having ten names is pretty pretentious.

But Otto's son looks like a retard, so for me the house of Habsburg died out with this old guy.

They are just private citizens now.  So long as nobody gets stupid they are fine by me.
