    As a fellow Christophe, I too have seen this all my life.
    It’s comical that so many companies and systems just decided “No one will ever have a name longer than 10 characters, right?”

      It’s wild considering it was one of the most popular names for a while. There were 3 other Christophe’s in my class at one point.

      South Korea actually has a law that nobody can have names longer than 5 symbols since a traditional name is never longer than that and it’s all their systems are setup to handle.
