everyone says we are crazy
in Baby Names
Whenever someone asks us what we are naming our little girl we tell them and they think that we are crazy for giving her such a long name
Lillian Emma Rayne , then our last name. My hubby and I like the two middle names, do you think that it is too long?

I think it's sweet. I have a long name for cultural reasons and I love it. If you are pleased with the choice, then it's a good choice.
Congratulations and wishes for a safe delivery.

not a huge fan of two middle names, but yours flow nicely together. I would go with it. She isn't going to be saying her full name all the time anyway. She will have to allow more time when buying a house though
No, it's not too long in terms of syllables. People are probably just surprised that you're using two middle names. It's not that common. I have two middle names (8 syllables) and I've always loved my name. Most people won't know or say the entire name anyway. I wouldn't worry about what people say.

Me too. I have 3 mn and it's really no big deal. Honestly, the only time I ever remember being annoyed with it was when I became an American citizen and had to sign my FULL name multiple times in a row. Otherwise, it was never a big deal. All school forms etc only listed my first mn even though all 3 were legal. I don't know why people get all worked up over this. It's your child, do what you want and what works for you
And anyway, I think it sounds very pretty together, flows well, and like pp mentioned, all names are short so it doesn't make it seem way long. Go for it!

After reading the responses, I feel I should explain why I have two middle names- one honors each of my grandmothers. My parents had a hard time having me and didn't think they'd have the chance to name more than one kid. They didn't- I'm an only child. They couldn't choose between their moms and I'm glad they didn't. They are both gone now and I'm so proud to have their names as a part of me.

Our little guy is most likely going to have 2 middle names.
Since this is probably our only child this will be our way to honor a couple of people by using all of those names w/ ds.
I don't see anything wrong w/ it.
In college I was a nanny for an old southern family from old money. Their two daughters had four names total (incl last name) and I absolutely LOVED it. It was charming in my opinion. Go for it!
This. I have four names, for a total of 11 syllables. It's seriously fine, and I love my name. I don't understand people who have hang-ups about four names. There are many places where having four names is not at all unusual.
I plan to give my own kids four names - it's very common in my family. First name, middle name, family surname, last name. I also totally understand some of the previous posters' examples, where there were too many great names of special people they wanted to use. And as someone who loves names, I'd understand if there were just two great middle names the parents couldn't decide between!
Seriously, I don't get why it's a big deal.
