For those of you who use or want to use 2 middle names how do you go about choosing. We sort of started an accidental pattern of a first name we “just like”, 1st mn is an honor name and 2nd mn has a meaning we like. Obviously flow comes into play too but sometimes I feel like meaning trumps flow.
Thoughts?
Rules you follow?
[name_f]Do[/name_f] sibling combos impact future names?
I sometimes worry their names will look like I couldn’t pick so i just jammed names together.
I’ve made some 2 middle combos and for me, it’s all about loving all three names and ensuring they flow well.
I like your rules -i think they could make some interesting combos 
I started using double middles as a way to honour people and still have a say in a first name. I used to have FN a name I love with meaning. 1st MN would be an honour name for a family member and 2nd MN would be a honour name for myslef/partner/nod to a pop culture/historic/famous person.
If the names flow I think it doesn’t matter who many names are in MN spot. One of my close friends know she will only have 1 and the names flowed in a good order so used them all (kid has 3 MNs).
If I use 2MNS on my 1st the rest will get 2 as well.
I would quite like to pick a first name I like, and then two honour names for middle names, one from each side of the family. However, my boyfriend is not too keen on this, since he thinks two middles names is too posh, and doesn’t think it will sound good with his 3 syllable surname. So I’ve been toying with the idea of trying to find names which would honour two people, or including a slight honour in the first name.
We have a long last name too and it was a little tricky getting the flow right but it is worth it. We have so many names we love and I had such a hard time accepting that i couldn’t use them all in one way or another. We will probably have 1 more and i cant fathom how i will narrow down my list.
I don’t have any rules, I just want to love everything and have it flow well together. If the name with meaning doesn’t flow well with the other 2, you could change it up a little bit to still have the connection but use a name you love that flows better ie. [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] could become [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_u]Wynn[/name_u], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f] or [name_f]Mina[/name_f]. [name_m]Marvin[/name_m] could become [name_m]Marius[/name_m], [name_m]Mark[/name_m], [name_m]Marcus[/name_m], [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]/[name_m]Vince[/name_m], [name_m]Vincenzo[/name_m] or even [name_m]Arvin[/name_m]. Another way of doing that could be the meaning. If the honour name’s meaning is “bright”, find names you love that flow with the other ones that also have the meaning “bright”. It’s a great way to keep the connection to someone important to you when you don’t necessarily like their name for your child or it just doesn’t go with the ones you do love. I think it’s very important to love all 3 names but if you find yourself needing to compromise, put the name you both like the least in the 3rd spot because it will get used less.
