How inconvenient is it to have two middle names?

Hi ladies

I'm due my first child on Friday. DH and I have decided on a first name and DH has 90% agreed to having my brother's name as a middle name (my niece has my name as middle name and I'd like to return the tradition.) DH would like to add a second middle name, I'm happy enough with the name choice but concerned about it being inconvenient on forms etc to have a second middle name. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Me, and DD have 2 middle names and MIL has 3 (and we share a double barreled surname!). You get used to having a long name, it's rarely a problem.

Watching with interest . Currently expecting dc3 and first two have one middle name but I'd like this one to have two .

Its never a problem in the UK, but in the US its a PITA, because they only EVER have space for one! But its a very minor issue for me. I like having two Grin

It's fine, it just adds gravitates when you have to shout their entire name out across the park as you see them doing something they ought not to be.

Only time I've seen it be a problem is on stupid forms that want full everything, but then won't give you enough boxes.

So, I'd stay clear of Alexandria Josephine Arabella jones-smith

I have 2 middle names. It's a non issue. If there is only one box for middle names, I either squeeze both in there or if it's tiny just use my middle initials.

It's fine. My DS4 has 4 names then surname because his older 3 brothers all chose one Smile

Hi

I have two middle names and it is rarely an issue to be honest. The nhs it system can't cope but everything else is fine. I've give my daughter two middle names too.

I have two, it's never been a problem. On forms I just put them both in the middle name box.
