Njeriu me emrin më të gjatë në botë: 2,253 fjalë që zgjasin 20 minuta për t’u shqiptuar

Për shumicën e njerëzve, një prezantim zgjat disa sekonda. Por për Lawrence Watkins, ai është një maratonë 20-minutëshe fjalësh.

I lindur si Lawrence Gregory Watkins në vitin 1965, ish-roja 60-vjeçare nga Auckland mban tashmë rekordin botëror Guinness për emrin personal më të gjatë në botë – plot 2,253 fjalë.
Ky rekord u rikonfirmua së fundmi nga Libri i Rekordeve Botërore Guinness, i cili e riklasifikoi rekordin e tij të vitit 1992 (atëherë si “emri më i gjatë i krishterë”) në kategorinë më të përgjithshme “emri personal më i gjatë”.

Në dasmën e tij të parë në vitin 1991, celebruesi i ngjarjes luajti një regjistrim të posaçëm ku lexohej i gjithë emri – proces që zgjati rreth 20 minuta – përpara se Watkins të thoshte thjesht “Po”.

Watkins u frymëzua nga emisioni “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” dhe Libri i Rekordeve Guinness, të cilët e shtynë të gjente një mënyrë unike për të hyrë në histori. Duke mos pasur “asnjë talent të veçantë”, siç thotë ai me humor, Watkins vendosi të krijonte emrin më të gjatë që ekziston.

Ai kaloi muaj të tërë duke kombinuar emra latinë, anglisht të vjetër, maori, samoanë, japonezë e kinezë, për t’i bashkuar në një listë të pafund që shtrihej në gjashtë faqe makine shkrimi.
Pas një beteje ligjore, Gjykata e Lartë e Zelandës së Re e miratoi kërkesën e tij në vitin 1990, duke i dhënë dritën jeshile rekordit që do të bënte histori.

Sot, Watkins jeton në Sydney të Australisë dhe përdor përditë një version të shkurtuar të emrit:
Lawrence Alon Aloy Watkins, ose thjesht “Watkins V” – që nënkupton brezin e pestë.

Emri i tij i plotë zë shtatë faqe në certifikatën e lindjes dhe gjashtë faqe në pasaportë. Në udhëtime, ai duhet të mbajë gjithmonë me vete kopjen zyrtare të dokumentit, në rast se dikush kërkon ta verifikojë.

Pas rastit të tij, Zelanda e Re ndryshoi ligjet e emrave, duke vendosur kufizime të reja: asnjë emër nuk mund të përmbajë tituj, fyerje, numra apo më shumë se 70 karaktere – një rregull që e bën të pamundur përsëritjen e rekordit të Watkins.

“Nëse do ta ndryshoja sërish emrin, do të humbisja 98% të tij – dhe, bashkë me të, edhe rekordin Guinness,” thotë Watkins me humor.
“Tani trashëgimia ime është e siguruar – të paktën në Zelandën e Re.”
