Thoughts on 3 names...(1st, 2 middles?)

KLMFBP3 · July 2010

Just wondering if many people did this.

With our second, I really liked the name Bennett Hendrix Rudolph P. But, DH was against 2 middle names. Said it was stupid...yes, those were his exact words.

Was wondering what others thought about having 2 middle names.

FWIW - the middle names I had were family names.

We used two middle names. My husband has 2 as well, so there was sort of a family precedent, and they were both meaningful names to us.

For me, personally I think 3 names is too much.

I know people who have done it, but NMS

I think 3 names is overkill (MN's are hardly used as it is, much less 2 of them), and those 3 names in particular are REALLY a mouthful.

Why does one name have to honor "everyone"?

I personally wouldn't do it, but I don't think it's weird or "stupid" at all.

Everyone in my family has 2 middle names, so I am used to it.

Both my husband and I have two middle names. We've both liked having two.

I like 1 MN for babies because our kids might elect up-and-coming naming traditions when they get married and then get a second MN or second LN as part of that. Personally, I moved my maiden LN to be a 2nd middle name when I got married. Another friend just married a guy who has two last names (one from his mom and one from his dad) and she will add the groom's dad's part of the LN to her name, but any kids would get a combo. My Columbian friend has an even more complex naming system.

My DH has two middle names and he doesn't like it.

I like Bennet Hendrix, but the Rudolph plus last name is a REALLY long name. I think if you are going to use 2 middle names they should be a little on the shorter side. But that is just my opinion.
