It would be an aggravation beyond just having that change. The layout of the form would also be a pain. It is very important to have consistency and a long name does not help. It is bad enough having hyphen names.

I like to know how her name was entered on her birth certificate and if there was enough room. Also, her drivers license can't be the only situation where her long name is an issue.

In a database of 4.5 million I don't have a last name that is longer than 24 characters.
