My nephew has two middle names because sister and BIL wanted to honour a grandfather from either side and knew they weren't having any more kids so they chose two middle names.
I don't mind the two middle names idea, but TBH, I don't like Eternity. I do think it's a bit hippy and don't forget she will live with her name for all her life. A friend of mine has two middle names and one of them is Hope and I've always thought it was a bit hippy...
Both of my boys have 2 middle names. The first middle name we have a family connection name, the second middle name is a bit 'wacky'/alternative. I like it cos they have that different name that is tucked away in there if they want it iykwim, they can use it or ignore it or whatever. And I think Zara Elizabeth Eternity has a nice ring to it. And it keeps you both happy! Although, now that we've started this two-middle-name gig we kinda feel obliged to continue it, so if we ever manage to have a 3rd child we will have to keep it going I guess!
I think if you can live with it then make DH's day and go with Zara Elizabeth Eternity! Middle names are so rarely used anyway, it's not like you'd be actually calling her that all the time so it will only be used when you/she has to fill out official documentation...
