Two middle names

What are peoples' opinions on this? Do you think it's too much of a mouthful? Or a nice way to pay homage to a couple of grandparents/family names? My partner and I both don't have middle names, but are leaning towards putting a couple in for our children because there are just so many beautiful names out there to choose from. Interested to hear what other people think.

I think it depends on the names, e.g. Catherine Elizabeth Alexandra would be too much but Katie Laura Rose seems fine to me.

I have 2, DH has 1, DS and DC2 has/will have 2 each until they're confirmed when they'll have 3...! Which is a bit overkill but who cares! They're never used on a day to day basis.

I have one and my brothers both have 2 each. They have the name of a grandfather on each side as a middle name which is nice. My daughter has 2 because we couldn't decide! I think do whatever you like- it's your child!

All my children have two middle names. Two of them have a family name from my husband's side as one of their middle names. Their full names are a mouthful but very individual and as they get older they could omit one or the other if they didn't like it? At the moment they all love all of their names

DH and I don't have middle names, but have given the dcs two each to compensate. One from each side of the family.
