As we are TTC I am freaking out about names and if my OH and I are on the same page, we are in regards to names but not so much the middle names (I want 2 he thinks 1 is enough).
What is your opinion?
Should I stick up for wanting 2 middles or fix my list to 1 middle?
Donāt like gender generalisations, but Iāve never met a guy whoās been like ānot one, honey, letās really go for it and have two middles!ā [name_f]My[/name_f] husband was ambivalent to indifferent to middle name numbers, but ultimately he respected my name obsession/passion. It meant more to me to have two middles than it did to him to only have one! I love two middles esp where at least one is an honour name! (So yes if it means a lot to you and he has no reason beyond āitās the done thingā to deny you, I would push the case for two!)
i would push for two !! especially if your partnerās only reason for wanting one is āthatās enoughā. i have two middle names and they are a joy to me.
Not the same exactly, but Iām gonna change my name someday and Iāll probably give myself either 2 or 3 names. No one will know someoneās additional names unless the person tells you, so I think itās fine.
I like two. I have two, most of my cousins do also. It feels more complete to me. We live in Australia, but itās never caused any issues for us legally either. It also has meant being able to be extra thoughtful in the names we pick and can honour family.
I know on Nameberry two is pretty popular. Personally, I prefer the combos that only have one. I can kind of see it more if thereās sentimental reasoning to have more then one but otherwise I see the idea of first/ middle/ last as a three name deal. Prior to being a SAHM I was a preschool and toddler teacher and spent that time teaching the kids their full namesā¦. In all those years I recall only ever have one kid with more then one middle.
This is a lovely sentiment to consider. 
I also have two middles, and they are a joy to me, too! Beautifully put.
Iād push for two middles! āOne is enoughā isnāt too convincing an argument for me to change my whole idea of a meaningful combo. 
I think you could do a few things:
Play about with your combos, make them into one middle combos and see how you feel about them
Talk to your OH - does he actually oppose two? If you said, I really want two middles, would it be an absolute no, or is it just heās used to one?
think about your reasons for wanting two and his for wanting one - weigh them up, consider them all
have two lists - one with two middles, one with one middle combos. see what feels right nearer the time?
I would only do one.
I have two middle names, and unfortunately I donāt think itās worth it! One of my middle names is always forgotten and thereās always only enough room for one name or initial on forms. As a name nerd, itās always really bothered me
that being said, however, if itās important to you then keep pushing for it!
Thank you all for the replies.
I think I will do what @Greyblue suggested of having 2 lists one with 2 middles and another with one middle. [name_f]My[/name_f] OH uses my first and middle a lot in sweet moments and he would do so with our child too so maybe itās due to he will actually use them. Maybe I just need to make sure I have a syllable limit, which is hard as most of my favourite first names are 3-4 syllables.
I like one middle name
I like two middle names.
