2 or 3 middle names?

[EmilyRoo]

I've been trying to decide between a list of middles and have found it difficult to winnow it down, mostly because I like all of them for different reasons. Rosalind is a required middle, the other options are:
Georgiana
Athena/Minerva
Calypso
Daphne

As you can see, there is a bit of a Greek theme, unintentionally. Is B. Rosalind Georgiana Calypso for example Too Much? I feel as if I adore all of the names equally!

[StepOutOfSpring]

I'm afraid I think it would be too much, yes.

B. Rosalind Georgiana is lovely on its own, you just don't need to add anything else :)

[Lunarlyte]

Yes, 3 middle names is too much I think.

B. Rosalind Athena sounds good, too :)

My children both have 2 middle names and that's already a bit much if I'm honest. I wouldn't go for 3 personally.

[Staceisace]

I think three middle names would be too much as all the names are quite long I like Georgiana and Daphne :)

I have two middle names, and whilst I like them both and like the whole name together I'd rather just have the one. The reason is that lots of forms only allow one middle name or initial, which might not matter except that for things like my credit card etc. I like my name to be recorded properly. I usually end up dropping both middle names as i really don't like the way my name looks at all with just one initial - it doesn't feel like it's me IYSWIM.

So i think that three middle names is a bit silly and two is a bit of a nuisance.

DS has three middle names - DD will too. They each have a middle name that we chose, a Russian middle name, and a family middle name. There are problems with forms though, on occasion...

Calypso is an iced lolly. Not a middle name.

[HandMadeTail]

More than one, only if they are needed due to family politics. Or if you can't beater to leave one out. WTF, who cares, give'em as many as you want.

Calypso is fantastic.

[LittleWhiteWolf]

Gnocchi, I do believe the name came before the ice-lolly...

[33goingon64]

In fact Calypso is from the Odyssey, written... Ooh about 3000 years ago. So the name definitely came first!

Calypso is brilliant.

I toyed with Calypso but DH said no.

How about the Muses? Only a few are actually pronounceable in English but they are all lovely.

[GnocchiNineDoors]

I imagine that it did. Doesnt mean its not associated with it though.

[OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere]

DD has 1
DS1 has 2
DS2 has 4
DS3 has 3
DS4 has 4
Middle names.

I wish I could have more babies, I have tons more I want to use.

[TiggyD]

More than 1 middle name would be annoying when they have to fill in forms. 3 should be illegal.

Pfft
