"Two" much?

mrschili11

My husband and I have decided that we are naming our son Benjamin, and for the middle name, we are using "Lynwood" which is my husband's middle name, and his grandpa's first name (this will be the 5th generation this name has been used).

Today, however, I found out that my dad has cancer...so now I am seriously considering adding his middle name, Lee, to our son's name. This will be my dad's first blood-grandson, and we really want to honor him.

So, any comments? Benjamin Lynwood Lee--does it flow alright or is it too much?

I personally think that Benjamin Lee Lynwood Lastname would sound better. I hope that your dad goes into remission!

I think that Benjamin Lynwood Lee *lastname* sounds good. I don't think that it's too long, especially because each name has a special meaning to you and your hubby

I agree with either of the pp suggestions.

I think they both sound nice either way you arrange them. Even if it does sound like a mouthful I think the meaning much out weighs the actual name. Especially with how little middle names are actually used or referenced. I would honour your father.

Normally I don't really like two middle names but in this case I would go for it.

Thinking of your dad, hoping he goes into remission!
We chose Robert Harold Douglas if this LO had of been a boy so I like the two middle names! And especially if it has meaning! Our girl name is Alicia Ann Marie!

I think it's nice and you should go for it. We did something similar with my DS's name. He was originally going to be just Alec Richard. Richard is after my grandfather. Then at the last minute we decided to honor my DH's family and added Palmer to the en

On most school/professional paperwork one of the names will get dropped simply due to space issues, so use the one you like seeing better in print.

All three names together is too much, IMO. I would just use Benjamin Lee, personally, and save Lynwood for another child.

DS has 2 middle names and I don't find it to be a problem.
