JoAnna:

My best friend's first son is Korwynn Orion Hunter Harrison Brown.  
She and her husband (now her ex) had a deal that if he was born on 
her due date, she got to name him; if not, he did.  Well, he was 
born on his due date (February 29!) and picked out Korwynn.  Her 
husband insisted on two of the middle names (Hunter and Harrison) 
because they're family names.  She didn't like either and tacked on 
Orion as well so he'd have a middle name that *she* liked, too.

Poor kid.  If I was him, I'd be changing my name to something 
shorter as soon as I was legally able to do so!

My guess is that it's the same with Dumbledore - perhaps he came 
from an illustrious family and was named after several relatives 
since his parents couldn't decide who to name him after!
