How many middle names are you giving your baby?

Question

I have an unusual first name, 2 middle names and now a double-barrelled surname (all hubby's, not mine & his joined). Hubby doesn't have a middle name at all, so just curious x

Answer

I have 2 middle names and hated it because forms only ever give you space for one, and when forms say “full name” it’s so confusing. Also a lot of things ask for initials but not let you put both. Was frustrating haha so I will never give my children more than 1 middle name

Answer

When I got married I decided to keep my given middle name and my maiden name (now as second middle name) and then take my husband's last name. I felt like it kept my family heritage a part of me while also starting a new partnership and family name with my husband. Something to consider for girls potentially down the road if she decides to get married and/or take a different last name.

Answer

Baby will take her dad's last name which is also double barrel so we've decided not to go for a middle name, I don't mind either way but he decided against it because he has a middle name and apparently it's a pain in the bum for filling out paperwork because there's never enough room for 4 names 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Answer

We are doing one middle name. But I have plenty of siblings that have two (like 5/10 have 2). I just feel like it’s easier on my husband and I to give our children one

Answer

My first 2 only have 1 middle name, but this babe will have 2 as we have 2 people in our families we’d really like to honour.

Answer

I personally don’t have a middle name but all my 3 kids have middle name and so this one will have one too.
