1 or 2 middle names

[Beatrixpotty]

DS3 due tomorrow and thought we had names sorted until DH suddenly said he was sad none of his 3 sons will have his name.I don't mind using his name, but don't want it as a 1st name or as the only middle name but don't mind it in the middle of the 2 we have chosen.Is it too much to have 2 middle names though?my other DSs only have 1 each.

Why can't it be the only middle name? No harm in having two though.

DD has two middle names, one from my side of the family, the other from her dad's. It always made sense to me to do it that way.

Think having 2 middle names is absolutely fine!

DS1 has one middle name. DS2 and DS3 both have two middle names. They are all just about in their teens now, and not one of them has noticed yet there is a difference.

We're exactly the same as Bowlers - DS1 has 1 middle name & DSs 2&3 have 2 middle names. They're all age 6 & under but so far none seem to mind

I have 2 middle names and enjoy it!

2 of mine have two, 2 only have 1. It's not an issue :-)

Its find, two of my five have two middle names and the other three just have one middle name :)

My DD has two, she shares her first name with my foster mother, then she has a middle name which she goes by and a second middle name which is her actual middle name IYSWIM. Her having two middle names has never been a problem, even with the added complication of her being known by one of her middle names.

Both mine have 2 middle names...it's fine.

Oh,DP and I also have two middle names each,and neither of us have ever had a problem with them either.

DD has 3 middle names - bit of a bugger when it comes to filling forms in, but she came with 2 middle names when we adopted her. We kept one and we wanted to give her a link to our family history. People do pass comment that it seems a bit posh - I can assure them any child of mine is anything but

Both of mine have 2 middle names, can't see a problem with it. More of a benefit really as it gives them more choice when they are older.

Lots of people do it. It wouldn't be my choice personally as it feels excessive to me.

A bit z list sleb

2 names is fine, but I'd want all my kids to have the same number. Not too sure why, just big on the equality of siblings I suppose. Probably doesn't bother anyone else!

I always wanted to give my DCs 2 middle names. DH (who has no middle name himself), thought that 1 was fine but any more was excessive. We made an agreement 17 long years ago that any DSs we had would have 1 middle name & any DDs would have 2.

DS1 is 16, DS2 is 12 - both have one family-related middle name. I had to wait until two years ago to have a DD & finally get to choose 2 middle names .

Both of my dc have two. Family names. Ds has his grandfathers middle names as his two and dd has two family names as her two. They all go well together IMO.

All 5 of my DC have 2 middle names, the second of which is cultural. Never caused any problems, its a bit like having a double barrelled name.

Both of mine have 2 middle names. Makes it much easier for genealogy purposes in the future too. I think it is very odd that my husband, his dad and his grandad have no middle names at all.

My husband has no middle name.
I have 3 middle names.
Our daughter has 2 middle names.

It really doesn't matter how many middle names you have. I have always enjoyed the slight unusualness of my plethora of names.

I'd think twice, not about the middle names but about only one having his father's name, and him not being the eldest. It might look a bit like favoritism.

Ds has 2 middle names, his grandfathers names. Dd only has one, my mothers name, if we had another girl she would have mils middle name as her middle name, another son would have 2 middle names, mine and dhs brothers names.

'Z list cleb' really? no, am not a z list cleb myself and have 2 middle names.

Go for it OP!
