Heidi Klum names newborn son after husband and father

First, congrats to Heidi Klum and her husband Seal on the healthy birth of a baby boy. They've given him a name:

Henry Guenther Ademola Dashtu Samuel

Whoa! That's way too much name for such a little person. What happened to the time-honored tradition of first name, middle name, last name? Did they really need to give the child 5 names?

I understand the drive to honor her father and the baby's father by passing on a name, but couldn't they just pick one from each? Did they really need to use all the names?

I feel for the poor kid...While all the other kids in kindergarten race through writing their names, he's going to wind up struggling for a half hour to get through the essay his folks saddled him with...
