Hey how many middle names would you use? Our son has both his grandads names when our daughter arrives obviously we want to use both her nans names ( even though dont like either name personally its meaningful to us)problem is my mums name sounds better before my MIL's name but obviously the MIL has the same surname so thats abit weird? If im making sense Confusedthe end of our daughters name will be my MIL name, would it be too much to have 3 middle names? We have hardly had to use our sons middle names not like going to be using it through school i think the only thing my middle names used on is passport or would it be a total pain in the butt for her in years to come ?
Thanks if your still reading 🤣

My ds has his uncle's name and his dgf name as mn-we gave them in alphabetical order to avoid grief!! So dgf first then du!! Would this work for you?

I don't really see the problem with what you're describing, to be honest. As you say, most of the time the middle names aren't used. And when they are used, you get the full name including first name, so it will be clear your daughter isn't her Grandmother...

Unless your concern is you don't like your MIL and don't want to be reminded of her by your daughter's name...? Grin

If it really bothers you, just switch the two middle names around. Even if they don't flow that well, you and your daughter will barely ever have to say them out loud anyway. I really wouldn't give her 3 names. It sounds like an almighty faff for filling in forms and the like.
