Long-Named Hawaiian Woman Wins ID Battle
夏威夷长姓女子赢身份证大战
A Hawaiian woman whose last name contains 36 letters and 19 syllables won a petition to have her full name placed on her driver’s license. Since getting married in 1992, the Hawaiian woman (Janice Lokelani Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele) has carried an ID with only part of her last name and none of her first name. The computer system in Hawaii could not handle more than 35 characters. Janice was insulted when a traffic officer recently suggested she use her maiden name “Worth” since it is short and simple. Like many Hawaiian last names, hers has important meanings. Her name also helps her feel close to her late husband who passed away in 2008. By the end of this year, state IDs in Hawaii will be able to accommodate longer names.
