Two middle names - PITA or not a problem?

I'm not pregnant, me and DH are going to start ttc next year but I'm still thinking about baby names! Wondered how people with 2 middle names found it, is it a total PITA?

Nobody in my family has 2 middle names, I don't even know anybody with 2 middle names to ask, I can just imagine it being a real nightmare on forms and stuff? Anyone care to share their experiences of having 2 middle names?

Thanks

I have 2 so do DH and DS, I am always surprised when people think that 2 middle names are "posh". They are one of the very few free things in life!

Wish I had remembered to put "Danger" as DS's 3rd middle name. Dh was not keen, but couldn't come to the town hall to register him and I was going to add it on the form, but stupidly forgot!

I have 2 middle names. The first is a normal girl's name, and the second is a family name. It is my father's middle name, and it was his father's, and his father's and so on. I quite like having both middle names, it's never been a problem, and I like the fact that I have kept one of my father's names when I married. (In fact I wish I'd kept my own surname when I married, but that's a whole other thread!)

I passed the family name on to both DDs, so they have 2 middle names too.

My DD has two middle names. One is very short and has ended up being used daily at nursery to distinguish her from another girl with the same first name. All three of her names are fairly plain but I like the combination. One is a family connection, the other is one we chose. Has not been any problem.

My DB also has two. His names are longer and one is quite 'out there' but as far as I know it's never caused him
any problems.
