It was my dd's graduation today and her full name was used (3 names plus surname). For those that say middle names don't matter and they are rarely said together. Think of their graduation. It was lovely to hear all those middle names used for all the grads.

Why stop at 2 mn? Add a double barrelled surname too and you'll be sat there for longer when they graduate.

They still don't really 'matter' do they?

Actually graduates are asked the name to be used, some ask for shortenings or names to be left out.

Make sure that all the names are long with lots of syllables
Eve May Polly Watt's moment of glory would be short compared with Evangelina-Persephone Maybellina Arabella Leopoldina Alexandrina O'Donovan-Templeton-Watt's

Congratulations to your DD. It sounds nice to hear full names used. I doubt the grads were thinking about competitive name lengths
