    What's really legal is what's in the Birth certificate. I have dropped the 'GE' name for my offspring. My mother made a fuss but it's very convenient. There's a Sinhalese name, a name that sounds both English or SriLankan and the Surname. They can choose what's to be used depending on where they will finally end up. Many children who end up being settled in the West use another name or legally change their names to suit. In this day and age adapt to the times. Some do have such long names that other countries do not support that length in their processing systems.

    Fernando is a Spanish given name and a surname common in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Switzerland, former Spanish or Portuguese colonies in Latin America, Africa and the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka (the name was introduced there during the Portuguese occupation). It is equivalent to the Germanic given name Ferdinand, with an original meaning of "adventurous, bold journey"
