Rhyming names - it this outrageous?!!

Rhyming first name, middle name and surname?!!

Example just for an idea of what I mean (not exactly the names we are considering and not our actual surname)

Emily Beverly Knightley

Is it too much? The middle name we are considering is a family name and we really want to use it for sentimental reasons, it doesn’t have any suitable variations, otherwise we would have chosen something that doesn’t rhyme at all to balance the name out. We love the first name but it rhymes with the surname, do we have to change it?

That doesn't rhyme
Emily Knightly sounds fine

Hard to say as the example you gave doesn't rhyme.

Emily Knightley sounds fine to me, and middle names aren't used often in every day life, so it wouldn't matter if it rhymed.

Paul Hall on the other hand would sound silly.
