Nice one. Nigel Short wouldn't make this list I'm afraid.

Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine
p.s. The shortest name? well, if it's not some chinese wonderkid, it has to be Hans Ree.
Shortest name will always be N.N.

Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander
But his friends call him C.H.O'D
His was one of the first chess books I ever read.

The names there are quite short. The longest I have found up to now is:
Grigory Alexandrovich Kushelev-Bezborodko
Speaking of chesskid, the username generator on that site somes up with some really funny results. For those of you who aren't familiar with chesskid.com, when you create an account, there is a list of usernames generated by the computer that you have to choose from; it doesn't allow you to create your own. The usernames are all combinations of two words.
So anyway, here are some of the funniest usernames I've seen on chesskid:
NauseatingBathtub (749) - my favorite!
SmellyCotton (337)
FamousBuffalo (975)
ResponsibleMonster (390) - this guy offered a draw when he was clearly losing, and when i declined he abandoned his game. So much for being responsible.
HappyDoorknob (881)
EmbarrassedPuppy (747)
IdioticChimp (496) - surprised that "idiotic" is part of the username generator's vocabulary
GorgeousBathtub (1170) - better than the first one at least
RelaxedChick (644) - "chick" should also be eliminated from the username generator's vocabulary. Too easy to misinterpret...
Look at the top-rated player on chesskid.com tactics trainer. Rather unfortunate combination of words.
I think Bobby Smiles is the longest. Because there's a mile between the 2 "s" .....! LOL

Was a philidelphia typesetter.
Not sure if he played chess or not though. If so, he definitly wins!

It's bigger than GreedyPawnGrabber's suggestion (Grigory Alexandrovich Kushelev-Bezborodko), but not l-o-n-g-e-r.
Lol...

lol ur right. I thought the purpose of the username generator was to prevent exposure to things inappropriate for kids?
And, seriously speaking, while the top rated player's username is probably a coincidence (although a very bad one), why do words like "Idiotic" and "Nauseating" appear in the usernames (and especially when idiotic is paired with chimp)? Don't the programmers of the username generator know what words they should include in the generator's vocabulary, and what words they shouldn't?
