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 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.
