After a previous post from this morning someone suggested the idea that I use two middle names.
The name would be Martha Ellen Rosa with Lynch as the surname.
Our baby due in 3 weeks was originally going to be Martha Ellen (Ellen being a family name) but we both fell in love with Rosa and couldn't decide. Martha Rosa just didn't sound right to me. However all three together does.
We already have two boys and this is going to be our last child and therefore our only daughter so I don't want to 'save' any names.

What's your opinion on two middle names?

I have two middle names and although I like them both and the sound of my name all together it is a bit of a nuisance at times because so many forms etc assume that you only have one. So for example I've just applied for a new credit card, but the on line form only has space for one initial. But I have two obviously, so I don't like to use just one of them, because that's not my name, and then I worry a bit about not using any (but usually go that way) because that's not my name either.

My children just have the one middle name as a result.

My DS2 has two middle names, one of them being my maiden name. It isn't a problem.

DD has two (long!) middle names and my brother has 5. No problem at all.

I have two and I find it a massive nuisance. I have to fill out so many forms with my full name. Also there are loads of things where you have to put your initials in and there's only three boxes. I've pretty much dropped one of them off now. Naturally my mother is massively offended.

My son and 2 daughters all have 2 middle names - all family related.

Do what feels right for you both.

I know a little girl with three middle names.

Personally I think one middle name is perfect.

I think that name sounds great and with Lynch as a surmane (David Lynch , film director is one of my hero's) so in my opinion pretty cool name all round. You've got me thinking about two middle names now
