A Spanish aristocrat and his wife have given new meaning to baby names considered to be a bit of a mouthful.<\/p>\n

Fernando Fitz-James Stuart, The 17th Duke of Hu\u00e9scar and heir apparent to the dukedom of Alba, and his wife Sof\u00eda Palazuelo recently baptised their second child with a name so long it can\u2019t be registered.<\/p>\n

Sof\u00eda Fernanda Dolores Cayetana Teresa \u00c1ngela de la Cruz Micaela del Sant\u00edsimo Sacramento del Perpetuo Socorro de la Sant\u00edsima Trinidad y de Todos Los Santos is the name in full, with an astonishing 133 characters and 25 separate parts to it.<\/p>\n

But to be accepted by the Civil Registry the name will need to be shortened to either one compound name (hyphenated name) or two singular ones, reports MailOnline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the registration, the name given to the child will be expressed, although no more than one compound name may be recorded, nor more than two simple ones,\u201d indicates the second article of the law on names and surnames and their order, collected in the Official State Gazette.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The name is said to be a tribute to family members, religious devotions and the deceased Duchess of Alba, who was the Duke\u2019s grandmother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spanish paper El Pais said: \u201cThe first name, Sof\u00eda, for example, was chosen in honor of her mother and grandmother, Sof\u00eda Barroso, and the second, Fernanda, as a tribute to her father, Duke of Hu\u00e9scar, as well as her great-uncle, Fernando Mart\u00ednez of Irujo, Marquis of San Vicente del Barco.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Sofia\u2019s namesakes – the late Duchess of Alba – was known as Spain’s richest woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And her full name wasn\u2019t one that exactly rolled off the tongue either: Mar\u00eda del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva.<\/p>\n

She was the most titled person in the world, according to the Guinness World Records.\u00a0<\/p>\n
