Lester del Rey is probable winner of the longest original name in SF. 
I've only read the "The Best of Lester Del Rey", but it had some very good
tales.  "Helen O'Loy" & "Hereafter, Inc" are both memorable.  He's also
important to the field as an editor, first in various magazines then
fantasy editor at Ballantine then editor of Del Rey books.

A word about those "Collaborations".  I've read descriptions of these
books ranging from "it was completely ghost written by Paul Fairman" to
"Paul Fairman wrote it from an outline created by Lester del Rey" to "they
were co-writers".   The exact degree of collaboration probably varied from
book to book.

[C] == Story Collection.
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
[Abr.] == Abridgment of other title.
[= ...] == Also known by this other title.
