Would you prefer to have no middle names or 2 middle names?

[alpq]

Just that please

Two middle names.

I'd like two please

I have none - I'd be happy with one -

But I'd change my first name at the same time!!

Ah guess DH is right we either want to go for both of our mum's names or none at all, so it's fair all around

Dd has 2 and very proud!!

Well what if you have another DD?

Two middle names. I think it's elegant/classy

If you have another ddd in future you could use other family names as middle names (gp's, aunties etc)

2 please. Or 3. I have 3. But there has to be a story behind each name- not just "oh, we liked it"

I have two and a saints name from confirmation!

2

Me, my siblings and my children all have 2. I like it. DM only has one, but her brothers have 2 each. This has rankled for 70 years!

Are they not names you could hybrid?
If my baby was found to be a girl, the girls middle name was going to be Jeannie which is a mix of our mums names, Julie and Jeanette. It wasn't too long and sounded quite cute.
Unfortunately wouldn't work for the dads, unless anyone likes the name Pauvan??😆

Sorry. Stray exclamation mark snuck in there.

Unfortunately we won't have another DD. This was extremely difficult for me to fall pregnant (IVF) and we won't be having any more

Fortunately, one of my nieces is already named after MIL. So dd has my mother's name and her paternal great great grand grandmother's , who was alive and able to hold her when she was tiny. Ds has his both his grandfather's names- one of which is very unusual and one of which healed a family feud.

They have always loved hearing the stories of their names...............

Two

Now you have to negogiate which one goes first (and is therefore the one that will be used on forms etc - you'd be surprised how many don't take account of a second middle name)...

Two, as long as she doesn't have a double barrelled surname.

(My DD does so two middle names would have been too much imo)

"Two, as long as she doesn't have a double barrelled surname."

Oops.

I've got two, I've always loved it. One benefit is that it's very unlikely that somebody else will have the same combination of four names that I do, handy for credit check purposes. I also just like it I suppose! I have one mn from my mothers side and one from my fathers.

Both my sons have two middle names as well.

My DH has no middle name and I just think his name looks unfinished somehow.

great great grand grandmother's

What?

I don't have any and have never really cared. Two of my kids have two, the other two only have one.

If you like both the names, have both. If you hate one, have neither.

Two!

Two! I have no middle names and feel left out. My DC have two

Yep-3 greats. What's wrong with that?

I've two - both of my grandmothers. Nearly caused an awkward set of initials until my dad noticed and they switched the order to avoid it.

My mother was proud that I was the only grandchild to include her mother's name.

Two
