Hiya I'm not pregnant but just wondering, if your DC1 has 1 middle name can DC2 have 2?

I have 1 DS with 1 middle name, and and for my future DD I'd like her to have my Nans name as her middle name. However I don't particularly love her name - it's June.
So was thinking of having it as a 2nd middle name.
Is that strange?

My DH has no middle name, by BIL has two.

I have three DCs. DD is the oldest. She has one middle name. DS1 and DS2 each have 2 middle names.

We've done this.

Ds1 has one middle name. ds2 and ds3 both have two. They have never noticed there is a difference, as far as I know.

Not strange at all, I doubt anybody would ever notice or comment!

FWIW my siblings and I don't all have the same number of middle names, and so far as I'm aware nobody's ever commented on that.

Only word of warming if using 2 middle names is make sure the overall full name isn't so long it won't fit on standard forms, one of my siblings has that problem.

My dcs 1 & 2 have one middle name, but dc3 has two - I realised she would be the last and had some good names I wanted to use!

Ummm my ds1 has a middle name but ds2 hasn't. Is that wrong? I've been toying with the idea of giving him one incase he feels left out. Am I being silly?
