Name too long?

Hi all, for a boy we are thinking Grayson Thomas Martin Higgs. Thomas and Martin being mine and my girlfriends fathers. Is it too long? Does it sound good? Will a long name cause any issues with school, paperwork etc?

For a girl we are thinking Luna Jayne Higgs, Ivy Jayne Higgs or Maya Jayne Higgs. Which do you prefer? I'm leaning towards Luna 😁

I'd just have Thomas Martin. Grayson sounds a bit old man ish to me. Not keen on any of the girls names, sorry, especially Ivy.

Loving the boys name, I really like Grayson, would it for Luna as the girl as my first choice. All are nice though

I like Maya pronounced my-a (how it should be said IMO). Not that keen on Luna.

Not fond of Grayson either, it's a surname. Middle names are good.

May-a or My-a? If the first one I love it.

Me, my siblings and my children all have 3 given names. It’s not a problem.

I like the Luna combination of girls names best.

Sounds fine to me! I like Maya, that’s really pretty 😊

I really like your boys name. Its long but I don't think too long, quite a few people have 4 names.

For girls I love Luna and ivy, and would use them myself. I like maya but it's not something I'd use :)
