Their last names could have been omitted without much consiquence if that was the case. Instead, their full names were both revealed, which must be important. I don't think Tanigawa would've gone through the trouble of coming up with a last name for them if it didn't mean anything.

There's, from what I can recall, a total of 10 espers connected to Haruhi. Why would the Organization willingly put more than two of them on an island cut off from the rest of the world, especially when their goal is to provide Haruhi with a scenario that could very easily result in closed space forming?

I think you forgot that Okabe is a PE teacher.

Edit for Boredom:

(Not an actual sensible name, mind, and I didn't include the letters for which there are no true Spanish words beginning with them as opposed to borrowings.)

There was an actual NBA basketball player with an incredibly long name once.

This was it:

Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo


So, if we're looking for a realistic long name, we could slightly alter this one above perhaps.

It was only for humor purposes, y'know. Besides, I kinda like the idea of someone having "Taco" as part of their name.

Well, if that's the case... Tuxedo Mask fell on hard times financially, and had to start working as a mascot for a restaurant in order to earn cash for his family.

His mascot name?

...Taco Mask!

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

... What would his name in Japan be? I don't think "tako kamen" would have the same meaning.

And also home-room teacher, ne?

To make his name even more ridiculous add either a number or a suffix (like .esq)

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Don't forget a "Señor" at the beginning!

[Ithekro]

But, but, Kyon is Tuxedo Mask.

[Ricky Controversy]

By popular request, I give you...

Señor Alejandro Beliz Castilliano Del Eclessias Felizes Gallo Hidalgo Imperiosa Juarez Los Llamas Mares Nueves Ores Pimienta Queso Rey Sucre Taco Umberto Vega Xavier y Zorro, Tercero Duque de Tocino.

[Tensei]

.....oh god, my stomach hurts from laughing at that name

[Ithekro]

Now that is a lineage.

I wonder how much of Latin America he owns by inheritance?

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

... Is anyone willing to draw the latest "addition" to the cast?

The Duke approves. If someone draws him, I will make him my avatar.

[Ithekro]

Wouldn't have any if he's the third heir of the third heir of the fifth heir of the....so on and so forth.

But with Haruhi logic? Doesn't that make him Superman? (I was going to say both Superman and Batman, but Tsuruya is already Batman)...or does that make him just about everyone in Marvel Comic combined?

The Duke is shrouded in mystery. Until he gives exposition to Kyon.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

If it weren't for the fact that there's already a deity in the cast, I'd say he'd be roughly equal to God-Man.
