Rhyming names - it this outrageous?!!

Rhyming first name, middle name and surname?!!

Example just for an idea of what I mean (not exactly the names we are considering and not our actual surname)

Emily Beverly Knightley

Is it too much? The middle name we are considering is a family name and we really want to use it for sentimental reasons, it doesn’t have any suitable variations, otherwise we would have chosen something that doesn’t rhyme at all to balance the name out. We love the first name but it rhymes with the surname, do we have to change it?

I went to school with a girl named Jenna McKenna. Don't do it. (That said, this was 20 years ago and I still remember her vividly so at least it's memorable!)

Some rhyming names are terrible and some rhyming names can sound quite cool, so it depends entirely on the actual names. Can you not tell us just the first and middle names to give us something to go on?
