While this isn't nearly as weird, I know a woman who named her daughter Isabella - and INSISTED (before the child was born) that nobody was going to shorten it to Izzy or Bella. Guess what? People did/do it anyway.
I mean, what are you going to do about that? Fine anyone who doesn't use your child's full name? People will shorten long names, whether you (the parent OR child) like it or not.
Once that baby gets to toddler stage and beyond and starts getting into mischief she will shorten that name. Shouting "Squire Sebastian Senator- Middle name -Last name" would get old quick.
Could be advantageous for the kid, by the time she gets to the end of it she might forget why she was scolding him.

We had that war with our daughter Cjersti. Many people, including MIL tried desperately to call her only by her middle name or call her CJ in the hopes it would stick. I fought it and won out over time. When she got old enough to have an opinion on the subject, she preferred to be called Cjersti. However now as an adult, she often uses the moniker CJ. She still likes her name, but sometimes it is a struggle to spell or explain (it is a variant spelling of the Swedish/German name Kjersti - which is commonly Christy in English). I am not sure what name she publishes under, i will have to go look.

Since we're talking about it, I hope you won't mind my asking: what possessed you to give your daughter a name she would have to spell for people for as long as she lived?
"claiming her name choice will make her son “extraordinary.”
This is a quote from the link.
It's sad parents believe giving their child an unusual name will make the child extraordinary. But many parents who give these weird names believe exactly that.
It's just not so. A kid becoming extraordinary is a lot more complex than just the ability to give your child a creative name.
One may safely infer by the syntax of her writing that she is neither bright nor well educated; her claims of being related to "squires and senators" smack of a bizarre fantasy.
"Y'all are talking s**t about my unborn child" is an excerpt. Says it all. Likely she is southern white trash in lineage.
You seem to have the race thing nailed down.
