Two Middle Names?

[name_f]My[/name_f] older son is [name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m], and as we’re planning to name baby #2, we’re struggling. [name_f]My[/name_f] mn is [name_u]Lee[/name_u], my mother’s Mn is [name_u]Lee[/name_u], as is her father and his father…and it’s sort of a big deal, but [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is hard to pair with some of the names we like and we sort of like other mn’s better. This might be our last bc of medical complications I have during birth, so I’m afraid to count on having another to pass the [name_u]Lee[/name_u] on to. So, with all that said…here’s what we’re considering for baby #2

Boy-[name_m]Brogan[/name_m] [name_u]Seth[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] ([name_u]Seth[/name_u] was the name of one of my husband’s best friends who passed away)
Girl-[name_f]Maren[/name_f]/[name_f]Marin[/name_f]/Maryn/Meryn [name_f]Cait[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]

Thoughts? Is this weird with [name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] just having one mn?

Thanks!

Since the names you like for this baby are so short, I don’t think it’s a big deal. [name_m]Brogan[/name_m] [name_u]Seth[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] and [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] are actually the same length as [name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] if you pronounce [name_m]William[/name_m] with two syllables.

Good point! I hadn’t thought of that!

I don’t think it’s a big deal. I know a couple of families whose children have either one middle or two, depending on the circumstances of each naming journey. Using a family name is a good reason to add an extra middle.
