Question on Length of name

If I have a two part last name.

Example- De [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
Is it too much to have a first name and two middle names with the two part last name.

Ex- [name_f]Dulcette[/name_f] Inali [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] De [name_u]Winter[/name_u]

Thanks for you input!

I don’t see much of a problem… Initially I thought maybe was a hyphenated last name like “[name_u]Winter[/name_u]-[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]” … Its a long name but, like everyone says the middles are not used on a daily basis…

To be honest I don’t see a problem. Middle names are not used daily and if you like the flow of it then so be it!
Unless a kid has more middle names than a royal I don’t see a problem.

It doesnt seem a problem to me :slight_smile: I’m glad you asked this question because I’d been wondering the same thing. My OH wants to double barrel his surname with his grandfathers name and I already have two middles picked out!

I’m so glad to get some feedback. I’ve been worrying about it. I was wanting to add a 2nd middle name with a specific meaning for all of our future kids to link them. Hubby is considering it.

I think it works. I had a childhood friend who had a hyphenated first name, three middles, and a hyphenated surname! As in, fn-fn mn mn mn sn-sn. It was harder to learn than the alphabet when I was four! And it worked fine because she usually went by her first first name and surnames.

I think it depends what names you choose; if they’re elaborate and grand (e.g. [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] de [name_u]Winter[/name_u]), they can quickly come off as very aristocratic and therefore pretentious (unless you are an aristocratic family living in a manor), so yes, I’d say that would be too much, however, something like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] de [name_u]Winter[/name_u], even though it is long, would have a grounded vibe to it and would therefore be perfectly fine.

It’s not so much the two-parter last name but rather the “de …” which, though absolutely beautiful, already has a posh vibe that I would try to ground rather than bring out even more, so I’d personally go with a max. of one elaborate and grand name, like [name_f]Dulcette[/name_f] but then play it safer in the other two spots.

I think most of my names have one pretentious name.

Ex: [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] [name_m]Keen[/name_m] Connigan De [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
was one of our names.

I don’t think it’s an issue at all - if anything I like that the double middle name plays on the elevation of a two part surname :slight_smile:
