{UAH} Edward Mulindwa // Girl named Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele

Folks;

 

Do we have any tribe in Uganda with such long names? I think among my people, The Japs, the longest name has no more than 10 characters, such as Nyamwenge.

William Shakespeare once asked, "What's in a name?" To him, it was not much. But to Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele, the importance of her name was its link to a treasured past. For 20 years now, she has carried two forms of ID: a driver's license from Hawaii that displays a truncated version of her surname, dropping the 35th letter of it, while leaving out her first and middle name; and a Hawaii state identification card, which she arranged with the governor's office to fit her entire name. But when her special state ID card expired in May, she received a new one that was similar to her driver's license, eschewing her first and middle names and part of her last.
