Re: Naming laws
I heard once, but cannot verify, that a football fan was so overjoyed when his team - either Brazil or Argentina, I think - won the World Cup that he decided to name his as yet unborn baby after the entire team; eleven names, therefore. But the child was a girl, so she got all eleven names plus the first name of Maria as a concession to femininity.

I have heard of football fans giving their children the names of the 1966 World Cup winning team as middle names. I'm sure one case I heard of was a girl as well!So I don't think there is a limit but most people stop at two middle names.
