Sri Lankan cels here, do you think super long names are a failo?

I've known a few Sri Lankan guys in my life, and every single one had a fairly lengthy name which they then shortened to use as nicknames.

This has to be a pretty big failo right?

Those names apparently also tell who your ancestors are, were you were born, what is your occupation, etc... Of course to a westerner they sound like just a bunch of meaningless, annoying sounds.
