The belzer rebbe's name wasn't sar shalom. That was how he was referred to.
Just like the satmar rav's name wasn't divrei yoel.

Thanks for clarifying, I guess I wasn't clear why I wrote The, bc it is/was his title.

I have 3 names and one of my daughters has 3 names, so her "full name" comes out to "A, B, C, bas X, Y, Z"--I daven than "no one should have to daven for her"

My friend husband and son both have 3 names so cant avoid it when being called up to Torah

Anon for this because I've told friends IRL. I SERIOUSLY considered naming my baby Sar Shalom even though it's not our minhag/mesorah at all. Felt a very strong pull to the name Shalom in my 9th month, named him Shalom Dov Ber in the end.

Also, my friends husband is friends with the long-shalom-name guy.

All my kids have 2 names, a few have three. Hope this helps your question.

So if you're not Teimani or Belzer, can I guess that you're Chabad?
The name sort of gives it away Smile

The Yiddish/German family names are absolute beautiful! Think of Rosenbluth, Blaustein, Silberschlag, Goldberg etc.

She named her son Sholom Dov Ber, that's the name of the Rebbe Rashab, the 5th Rebbe of Chabad.
That's why I asked if she's Chabad.

Chanania Yom Tov Lipa is a real name. Not sure if there ever was one with the last name Katzenellenbogen but that’s a fictional combination in a Shmuel Kunda story that could maybe have happened in reality too.

My son has similar but longer. Named after one person. Barely fit on his Tallis bag at bar mitzvah (not kidding)

Otherwise my kids all have one name bec we don’t believe in combining names.

There's a family in LA with the last name Stulberger (pronounced Stool burger) (you can hear the father, Rabbi Stulberger, speak on Torah Anytime)

One of their daughters was once in a comedy sketch in her high school play and she said, "People think our name is long. They don't realize it was shortened from Footstoolburgersandfries!!!
