Interesting information:
The real name of Salvador Dali is "Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech" just like the other Spanish artists. No one knows it but the real name of Pablo Picasso is "Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso". I heard that in old times, Spanish people believe that the more name they put to their children, the more the children will be succesfull and lucky. I think this is why their names are very long:).
