Something I'm kind of struggling to wrap my head around. Is there a way for multiple word given names to work in English? Have you ever seen it done well? Just from a grammatical standpoint, it seems very difficult to construct sentences around a character with a name that is made up of multiple normal english words.

I don't even have any examples of such names yet because while I have the concept of a world in which names are supposed to be very directly and unambiguously meaningful, I haven't come up with one yet that doesn't completely fail a basic "Hello, my name is" test

Basically, how do I break English name rules without it sounding 110% fucked up?

    There's a pasta of Millenial versions of this. I think one of them was like Curse-God-and-Walk-Backwards-In-To-Hell Smith.
