Yes, it is a common sight for Malay Rulers have long names but they will mostly be remembered by their given names especially to those who are well connected and considered as friends to the Royal Families.It is also a custom that they were given names and dignified-equivalent names according to the Islamic religion (observe:Muktafibillah etc) to reflect and as a hope that they will become a just and wise ruler in the future.
