    All of my kids have 3 names

    Nicholas Alexander Dean (Nicholas - we liked it, Alexander - family tradition, Dean - after his dad)
    Angela Violet Jenny (Angela - again, we liked it! Violet - DP's grandmother, Jenny - after me!!)
    Emily Sandra Clare (Emily - my maternal great grandmother, Sandra - DP's mums middle name, Clare - my mums middle name)

    And the new addition will be

    David Benjamin Dean (David - after DP's brother, Benjamin - after my brother, Dean - well after dad again! lol!!)

    We like the concept of three names so we stuck with it

    Can't be longer then "Charlotte Bernadette-Anne".... middle names from her Grandmothers on each side.
    Didn't think how the poor bugger would go writing out official documents.....

    2 out of my 6 have 2 middle names, both for family reasons....

    Mason Andrew Watson ... Watson was his grandmothers middle name, she died shortly after his birth,
    and
    Zavier James Will .... He was born on my deseased granddads b'day, and his name was Wilfred. ( I just couldn't do "Wilfred", so he got Will! )

    So I gave them their own name, but added the family ones too....

    i think it sounds fine

    i gave my son 2 middle names

    Oscar Slaide Ashyr

    Oscar- we both loved! only one we could agree on. Slaide- is DP's mothers maiden name and Ashyr is DPs middle name.

    good luck

    I don't mind it but for the PITA of filling in official computer-checked forms where you only have space for one middle name initial.

    My sister is Brhianan Frances Victoria - so long that on her testamur from uni they could only fit the first two names, even though she put them all on the paperwork for graduation!

    My younger brother also has three names, but my older brother and I just have two. So even in the same family you don't have to keep the same number of names.

    I have picked three for a girl, but two if our first is a boy, so just go with what you like, Smithy!
