In my family we all have two mns, so I just wondered which you, Berries preferred?
It all depends. I personally love two middle names.
I would love to use two middle names but no one in my family has and we don’t even know any one who does, so I can not convince my SO…
I think it’s nice in some situations! If all the names flow well together, and aren’t a huge mouthful I think it can really work, especially if it runs in the family. 
[name]LOVE[/name] two MNs! I’m about 95% sure all my children will have them. It would take a bit of a miracle for them not to have them… I plan on adopting most of my children, and I think the idea of passing on a name from their culture/heritage/their actual name, a family name of my own, and a name I just love. And even if I don’t follow that pattern, I still would get to use a FN I love, a MN with some significance, and a MN to honor family.
It lets me indulge the inner name nerd without being outrageous–quite a few people have two MNs these days, and the practice just seems to be growing.
In my head giving my children two MNs says something like, “Mommy knows that you and I aren’t blood relatives but you mean way more to me than if I could have shared my blood and DNA with you, and someday, I hope you understand how very, very much Mommy loves you, and maybe you can see my gift to you, you’re beautiful, charming, lovely name, as a small token of how many good things I want for you.”
Besides, two MNs was quite common a couple generations ago in my family tree, so it’s a family tradition I’d like to get back to.
I like both, but I’ve gone back to one because I think it’s more wearable. I have a fairly long name and it gets annoying when filling in forms. I wouldn’t be opposed to two, though, if it came down to it
I prefer one middle name. Two middle names are nice if you are honoring family members or something, but they just over-complicate the name in my opinion.
I’m undecided. I like the simple look of two flowing names, but I think two middles can be really sophisticated when done right. That said, I think having two middles is great if you want to honour family. I’m not sure, I can’t decide!
See my fn mn and surname is [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Emily[/name] [name]Faith[/name] [name]Gale[/name]
I don’t exactly have a preference. However, my children will all have 2 middle names. It’s tradition in my family and my hubby has 2 as well, although he just got them because his mom couldn’t choose not because of tradition.
For me it’s important to follow tradition, I have four older brothers who all have 2 middle names. Their wives all decided that, after 5 generations of my family having 2 middle names, they hated it, so my nephews, yes I’ve got 9 nephews no nieces, all only have one. I guess it’s the same with the question, of to use or not to use family names. None of my nephews have family names either…I will be using them
In the end it’s personal preference, although I was kind of mad when my sister in laws decided against tradition!

I adore two middles.
Although, it does all depend on the flow.
All of my siblings only have one middle. My nephew and youngest niece also have one but my oldest niece has two as they were honouring their grandma’s. I think it’s lovely having two middles whether it’s honouring or not however.
I like them both. I have had 2 MNs on my list before and I always flirt with going back to 2 MNs… Our LN is pretty boring and only 1 syllable so it would work to have 2 but a friend of mine asked me about my daughters and what if they married someone with a long LN, there name would be outrageous. Something as small as [name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Young[/name] (7 syllables) is lovely but it could easily be [name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Rose[/name] Delvicchio (10 syllables) after she gets married… Someone told me once too that anything over 10 syllables is just too much name so I always base other peoples names off of this rule.
I’ve always found two middle names to be overkill. Wonder why the sudden surge in popularity? The two MN trend hasn’t always been so popular, has it?
I don’t think so, but I think it was more common decades ago. Like I mentioned in my previous posts, I have great-great-great grandparents who have two MNs ([name]Anna[/name] [name]Clara[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] is the only one I can think of off-hand, but there are tons of them). I even had great-great-great-great-ish grandparents who had three, maybe even four or more MNs. The trend seemed to drop off several decades ago, but with the internet and more interest in picking the perfect name and everything, I think more parents are open to the possibility of using two MNs. I know people who are like, the opposite of name nerds and they’ve given their children two MNs. Maybe because they just liked it, or maybe so they could use the combo they loved and still honor a family member. But it’s not like it was just invented overnight, in the past couple of decades. 
I honestly never even considered two middle names until I explored this site more! I don’t know anyone who has two middle names and no one in my family does. I think it’s a cute way to work in a family name that you might not want to put as the first middle or to work in two names you couldn’t make a decision between. I don’t think DH and I will be using two middle names, but I think it can be cute with the right two names.
Unless you are royalty I strongly prefer one middle name.
I have 2 middles, and I always loved it. [name]One[/name] is just a name my parents liked, and the other is my mother’s maiden name. When I was little, it made me feel fancy - lol! - and now, I like that my name honours my mother’s family.
my daughter is [name]Geneva[/name] [name]Simone[/name] [name]Dunbar[/name] R*&^%^%N First name - our favorite, Second name - french to honor my background, [name]Dunbar[/name] is by Grandpa’s last name (he had no sons to carry it on) and then our last name. I love that she has 4 names, It allowed me to honor everyone but have a “new” name as well.
