Two middle names - PITA or not a problem?

My DD has two middle names. One is very short and has ended up being used daily at nursery to distinguish her from another girl with the same first name. All three of her names are fairly plain but I like the combination. One is a family connection, the other is one we chose. Has not been any problem.

My DB also has two. His names are longer and one is quite 'out there' but as far as I know it's never caused him
any problems.

I have 2 middle names. The first is a normal girl's name, and the second is a family name. It is my father's middle name, and it was his father's, and his father's and so on. I quite like having both middle names, it's never been a problem, and I like the fact that I have kept one of my father's names when I married. (In fact I wish I'd kept my own surname when I married, but that's a whole other thread!)

I passed the family name on to both DDs, so they have 2 middle names too.

I have 2 so do DH and DS, I am always surprised when people think that 2 middle names are "posh". They are one of the very few free things in life!

Wish I had remembered to put "Danger" as DS's 3rd middle name. Dh was not keen, but couldn't come to the town hall to register him and I was going to add it on the form, but stupidly forgot!

not a problem, looks distinguished on a cricket score card.

Our ds's have 2 middle names. It means we could fit in both nationalities easier :) so in order English, Greek, English, Greek.

Ds1- A Thaddeus James L
Ds2 - C Leonidas John L

I have two middle names, so do my DC. Never been a problem.

I have a Madeleine Ann Florence and a James Christopher Eric - never had problems filling in forms! Their first names are new but their middle names are those of dear family members.

When they were babies/toddlers I used to sing a song I made up to include their names to help them remember them e.g. "Maddie Moo, Maddie Moo, she is a girl who has three names, one is Madeleine, one is Ann and the other one is Florence..." and used to sing it whenever I changed their nappies/in the bath etc.

Oh and our surname has 7 letters in case that helps!

I have two middle names, and so do my DC. I have never ever found it a problem (only ever a positive) and my names are all fairly long! If you do choose Luna as a first name, you can still choose to have 2 middle names for her! Don't take any notice of other people re their thoughts on the name........ Your baby, your choice!

Posted too soon - was going to add, the only other inconvenience that has come up is that DP has no middle names, we are getting married later in the year and he is put out that his vows are going to take twice as long as mine as he has to keep repeating all my names :)

I have two quite long ones. I like them as they are both family names with some meaning. But I do have to miss the second one off forms sometimes as it won't fit - the bank for eg thinks I only have one, though this never seems to have caused any issues...

All my DC have two and love it, they all day they will give their DC two.
We balanced the combinations of long and short names to make sure none had inconveniently long names.

Dd has two middle names. Both 4 letters long first mn is two syllables, second is only one so they both flow quite well together and it doesn't sound like she has an overly long name. She's only 7 months so I don't know if she finds it a pita yet!

I'm going to buck the trend and say I don't like it. All 3 of my names plus surname rarely fits onto forms, my third initial is regularly missed off by banks and so on, it sounds a bit snotty to my ears, there are the same number of syllables in my first name as there as in my dh's entire name and eight more thereafter......my dc each have one middle name and that is sufficient.

It was never a problem, and no it never made forms illegal. I love having two middle names, one would be boring to me. And I too think of myself as my ful name.

I can't remember not fitting all of the names on forms.

Although we do have a short surname.

It's quite nice having a few initials, feels more interesting.

If the surname is quite popular in your area, having 3 names before the surname is going to lessen the chance dramatically of anyone else with it experiencing confusion on registers, getting mail etc.

Back in school Catholic friends always added their confirmation names so they gloried in extra initials, maybe that was just round our way.

Choose short middle names and it's less awkward fitting them on forms .

Love having two middle names. Me and two DSes have two, DH and 1 DS only have one middle name, poor things.

Both mine do. Never been an issue. Dd loves having two, thinks it makes her special .

DH has three of the things and loves them. He wants our DD-to-be to have two or three middle names as well. Can be a pain on forms though.

I have two and it's not really a PITA. It was worse before I got married as my surname was longer and there was often not enough room but now my surname only has 4 letters so it's not a problem.
We only gave DC one middle name but I wish we had given them two now.

all of my dc have 2 middle names, I only have one middle name. I cant say its caused any problems anywhere. the only one is ds2 has two long names so space can be tight on forms.
