Most certainly, percentile wise, they're the 99th. Nearly every case where I encountered a name that long though, there was a shorter form. Generally really long names are either patronymic/matronymic (listing ancestors) like many Arabic names, or names following Hispanic conventions. Hawaiian names can also sometimes be rather impressive.
For instance Pablo Picasso's full name is 103 characters (without whitespace): Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso

The last name's list on the other hand can be technically infinite but only the first two (from both: father and mother) are used normally. You can have also as many pseudonyms as you want of course, but they aren't official names.
