I don't care one way or the other. I remarked about it to someone the other day. He said he'd noticed it too, but didn't really have an opinion about it, or wasn't interested in giving it. For a long time in the English-speaking world we've basically used two or three name. In Spanish-speaking countries, they often use several. Looks like in the U.S. at least, we're going to see English-speaking people with longer names.
