Name too long?

Hi all, for a boy we are thinking Grayson Thomas Martin Higgs. Thomas and Martin being mine and my girlfriends fathers. Is it too long? Does it sound good? Will a long name cause any issues with school, paperwork etc?

For a girl we are thinking Luna Jayne Higgs, Ivy Jayne Higgs or Maya Jayne Higgs. Which do you prefer? I'm leaning towards Luna 😁

Luna Jayne Higgs is lovely. Don't like Grayson, but the length of the whole thing is fine

I personally don't think it sounds good, but I also don't think it matters as you're never going to say it out loud and it will only been a pain when filling in paperwork!

I prefer "Jane" to "Jayne" .

I would worry about a Luna eternally being nicknamed Loony.

Miggledy Higgins.

Boy's name is good. Luna is awful (loon/loony) and Maya is lovely.

Really like your boys name and don’t think it’s too long at all.

Ivy is my favourite from your girls then Maya. The first thing I think of when I hear Luna is lunatic or loony. Despite its great meaning i don’t like the sound of the name at all.
