Another "I posted at 4:54 and by 4:56 I got no response, so this site is worthless" questioner, probably.
@noisygirlkk How short? There has to be a limit - it's probably sensible, but some names are just longer than some people's names. (We had that problem in the US in the 90s. A government medical form had a 3" long box in which to put a patient's name, and the font had to be 10 characters to the inch, so the limit was 30 characters. And that just doesn't work. So they allowed smaller type if needed. (We never ran into a name longer than 45 characters, so we were okay.)
