is 3 names to many ???

[Going2bamum]

hi, just wanted your thought i have chosen the name finlay jon alexander, finlay and alexander are no brainers to me as they are my fave but we thought sticking jon in there was a nice gesture after my dad. but i am concerned that he will have the longest name !!!! has any one any thoughts on this or do you think its sounds ok?

I have 3 names and wanted my son to have the same. As it was he has 2 because they were all 3 syllables long. I would say go for it - it sounds lovely

My sister has three names, because my mum, my dad & I each chose her one. I don't think she's ever found it awkward.

It is not often I say this on here, but...

I love the name! It's really cool

... and having 3 names is fine.

3 names is the norm as far as I'm concerned

DD has two middle names, so three in total. There's a silly little tradition in my family that everyone has a J middle name and I wanted to continue that. My mum was also very poorly at the time so I want to honour her specifically, but she doesn't like her name so I added her favourite flower. It worked out quite nicely as DDs J middle name is Jane and its the same middle name as that of mum, sister, cousin, nana and even MIL and SIL!

Of course now we have to think of two middle names again for DC2. Thats the only trouble IMO!

I'm obviously going against the grain here, but I have two middle names and I find it irritating :) I can never fit them onto forms properly, and it seems to confuse the person dealing with the form who inevitably misses one of the names/initials anyway. I don't feel really strongly about it (strongly enough to only give my DDs one middle name each!) but I thought I'd give you a different view.

Not too much, my son has 3 middle names (due to cross cultural negotiations between me and hubby!) and I love it. I actually added the final name at his Christening as none of them were religious so it is: 'Arjun (first name) Meyrick (Family name) Immanuel (Christian name) Singh (Sikh name) Mann'.

It sounds kind of mad but completely suits him and sums up all his different influences!
