hi, just wanted your thought i have chosen the name finlay jon alexander, finlay and alexander are no brainers to me as they are my fave but we thought sticking jon in there was a nice gesture after my dad. but i am concerned that he will have the longest name !!!! has any one any thoughts on this or do you think its sounds ok?

My DS has 3 names. His own, then two family names, one of which didn't make the final cut as it would have given him unfortunate initials. Which for some reason my DH likes to tell everyone.

I like Finlay and Alexander, but is Jon a name in its own right? Isn't is short for Jonathan? Why not John?

I prefer just two names but it's your choice of course. Three names is not too unusual.

Personally I don't like Finlay so I'd pick Alexander Jon or Jon Alexander :)

Same here ds1 and 2 both have three names, I'm a bit worried dd will feel left out as she only has two .

3 is the magic number!
All my 3 DCs have 3 first names with family names a major theme!
Go for it

Me, my sister, my uncles, my DS, my DD bump - all have three names.
No problem, just need to write small on forms.

DS has 3 names. His full name was longer than he was when he was born. He's grown in to it now though!
