    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.

    All of my kids have 3 names. I've never had any problems with filling out forms etc.

    Molly-jane has a middle name and a last name... so same thing.
    I dont think it sounds funny, unless you plan on calling him buy his full name frequently...
    Also people will shorten names... its frustrating, but something you have to deal with.... Molly-Jane which i often type as MJ, but NEVER call her that, is called MJ, Molly and most annoyingly Mol.
    Name you child what ever you want.
    I have a friend that had 4 middle names as her mum couldnt choose!

    DS is three names, and when we get married his surname will be hyphenated. So that will make three and a double surname. Mouthful? Oh well.

    Hey Smithy - Go for it! Kyla is Kyla Maree Kathryn Sharkey (wanted to use my Mums and MILs names). It's not like you use it all the time, more just on paper.

    Both of my children have 3 names (their dad does too). We used family names for middle names - one from each side of the family and it has worked out great so far.

    We will give any further children we have 3 names too.

    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!
