I was just wondering what people thought about having 2 Middle names for a child I don't want it to sound too pretentious or anything. The reason we were thinking was if its a girl we would have Valerie as a middle name after my husbands late mum, I always wanted to include the name joy after my grandma. So we would potentially have Sophia Valerie Joy and then our surname (which is short)

I think that sounds lovely - works as joy is a short name and you say your surname is short. I think when you have 3 very long names and a long surname it becomes a bit of a mouthful but you don't use middle names very often
I am trying to gently persuade dh to give ds3 2 Middle names - he wants to name him after his df who passed away but it's a very old fashioned (but not back in fashion) name and I think a 'nicer' Middle name would be good! Although we need to decide on a first name first!!
Op your daughters name works well
