Both want Grandads name as middle name

[Purpletopaz42]

My husband and I are very close to our Grandads and we'd both long decided if we had a boy, we'd use their name as the middle name, William and George. We can't agree on which Grandads name to use, so as a compromise we thought about using both but I don't know if two middle names are too pretentious or long winded?

We like Arthur or Edward, so it would be either:

Arthur George William
Arthur William George
Edward George William
Edward William George?

The other option is to use one as the first name and one as middle name, so either:

George William
William George

But firstly how do we decide who's Grandad to put first and secondly, we visit our Grandads quite often so if we did use one as a first name, would that get too confusing?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you

Have both as middle names

Absolutely agree! Though to be fair I'd scrap all the royal sounding names...

Two middle names is fine and a lovely way to honour both grandfathers.

However, is there any scope for choosing a different first name, you have two past kings for a first name and two future kings for middle names?
