I've already decided our baby boy (due end of this month) will be:
J---- William and then our surname which is 3 syllables long.... but can i add a third middle name of Kurt - or will that be too long??? it'll be 8 syllables in total....

I have two middle names but hate both of them - one was a grandmother's name, another is just a boring 'spare' name. I do find that a lot of forms only have space for one middle name/initial, so in some places I am down as E.X.E.Xpat, others E.X.Xpat, iyswm. I sometimes wonder about legally getting rid of the middle names, but it's not worth the hassle.

However, I still gave the DCs four names - first name, second name, my surname, DH's surname.

Phew. Ok - good i was worried it was a bit too long, too much of a mouthful!

Still have to persuade DH about Kurt... btu a bit of emotional blackmail after the labour will sort that one.

BTW Jessamy was in my top 5 girls names - I love it!

It's fine. Dd has 2 middle names (mum's & MIL's!)

It's fine. DS's1&2 have two middle names.

My dd has her first name, 2 middle names and a surname. It's fine, her third name Jessamy only ever appears as J on things anyway.
