Is it too much?

We are having a girl and DH really likes the name Noble.

We have two Middle names picked out Rachael Mary after my best friend and granny.
Noble Rachael Mary
What do you think? Is it too much? We will have both of our last names on her birth certificate but she will go by his last name mostly, not both.

I personally feel giving a child 5 names is a lot and a real pain when you are older and filling paperwork especially when traveling.

As for Nobel as a name I'm not keen and the shortenings nicknames are not that great.

Other two names are lovely and the thought behind them is nice too.

We have a double barrelled surname so decided just to give out DS one name but that is just personal choice (plus we couldn't agree on a middle name)

Not read anything apart from the OP.

Follow your gut Thanks

No way! Noble is much too much. Go for something like Balonz instead Grin

Oh OP it's awful. Don't do it. Not even funny.

And everyone will think it's some sort of weird title, like the Honourable Rachael Mary Blahington-Blah, and she will have the most horrid time endlessly having to explain.

And, short forms Nob or Lee. Lovely.

Hmm, as for being on trend, fine - but that doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty ugly word. I'd much prefer Saint!

Look at 'Noble' for too long and you start seeing it as 'Nob-lee'. Just is a bit of a weird ugly looking word.

Nobbins, nobby, nibble, Norbert, nobody.

Not a nice feel to it at all.
