How many middle names are too many?

[Lizadork]

Just that really, how many middle names are too many?
Have you come a cross anyone with a lot?

My family/friends tend to have no middle name, one middle or two.

What about when you add your partner's name as a middle name - that adds things up too.
Example:
Sarah Louise Elizabeth Williamson (dad's-fake-surname) James (mum's-fake-surname).
Receiving post or filling in forms as Miss S L E W James.

Just feels like a lot.

As a last born child on the way, it is hard not to want to throw every name at her.

Our children all have two middle names. I love it. As a (probably rather weird) child in the 70s I was insanely jealous of the girl in my class who had two middle names - I still remember them, Harriet Edith after her two aunts - while all the rest of us had Jane or Louise. So I always wanted to give my children two meaningful middle names rather than filler names and it happens to be a tradition in my dh's family which was handy.
We chose first names together and then a middle name each for each of our children. All the names are meaningful to us and I still love them.

I have three middle names. It’s too much! Both my dc have only one middle name.

Two is pushing it. Three is too many.

For the most part, members of the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.
