Two middle names - PITA or not a problem?

I'm not pregnant, me and DH are going to start ttc next year but I'm still thinking about baby names! Wondered how people with 2 middle names found it, is it a total PITA?

Nobody in my family has 2 middle names, I don't even know anybody with 2 middle names to ask, I can just imagine it being a real nightmare on forms and stuff? Anyone care to share their experiences of having 2 middle names?

Thanks

My mum & MIL both have 3 middle names - never been a problem.

I have two middle names - my grandmothers' names. I really like both of them being represented but it meant I never used them, fully or the initials, as two is a bit too much for day-to-day. We've solved this problem with dd by using a combo: Mary & Ann has become Marianne.

I have two middle names, I love it.

The only thing with forms is sometimes there isn't enough room for both and a lot of the time especially medical records they seam to miss my second middle name off. But it does make me more unique to have two middle names, I had a very common last name and a very populat first name so the middle names helped me be more unique.

My brother has two middle names too, as does my DD1, and we have choosen two for our next baby.
