When my children were smaller, we had a game where they would ask me, "Dad, what's your full name?" and I would recite the longest, ridiculously made-up name that I could think of. I borrowed names from T.V. shows, movies, and books, and just jammed them altogether. At one point, it was something like:

Charles Chester Winchester Worchestershire Worthington Williams Rock Bottom Saltflats Desert Dune Dunedain Bus Stop Ole Biscuit Barrel Carmen Carmel Tarmac Nucleus ... Smith.

Once I had the whole sequence memorized, I would add a name or two to make it longer and sillier. I always ended with "Smith" because I thought it was funny to have such a common last name after all the other names.
