My brother would like to know your opinion on giving a baby 4 names ?

Question

He's considering giving it 2 middle names.

Answer 1

its ok depending on what the names are

Answer 2

i have two middle names because my mother is french and its traditional to have marie as a middle name, my other is my godmother's name...its no big deal, its just you have to pick one initial for standardized test froms;)

Answer 3

I think it's stupid to give a kid two middle names.  One is plenty.  

Answer 4

I personally don't like it.  Why does a child need so many names?  1 middle name is sufficient.

Answer 5

I think it's their preference.  It's very unique. My only thought is if he's planning on having more than one baby, don't use up all your good names and have nothing for the second child.:)

Answer 6

Thats perfectly ok

Middle names are not used in general so if he has three names that obviously mean something to him then tell him to go for it

Catholics have 3 names all the time

His choice , do as HE wants

Answer 7

Four names as in: A first name, two middle names and a last name? If so, then I think that it could work. And I think that it is a great idea and that he should definatley go for it!

Hope I helped! :-)

Answer 8

I personally think it makes the name too... "long-winded"...  it can look kinda pompous too, it depends though

If he's really wanting to though, he could look at it this way; most ppl don't know the middle name anyway (except the family), even when it's just one.

Answer 9

I don't like it.  On most legal forms, there is only room for one middle name.  Your child will only be using the first one on most occasions or having to use initials (for example John Michael Tom Doe would end up being John M.T. Doe).   It's too much.  People will always ask "why?" and I think it sounds self-indulgent when people have to rattle off a list.

Answer 10

a name is just that a name.when your child enters this life all thought about what is an appropriate name or name's will be irrelivent.

Answer 11

I have two middle names and I've always loved it.  Not "just because", but because all of my names have meaning.  Glenna was after my grandfather Glenn.  Marie was after my grandmother Marie.  Michelle is after my father Michael.  All three names had special meaning to my parents, so they decided to use all of them.  There's nothing wrong with it.  If its something he wants to do, then go for it.

Answer 12

I like the idea. My siblings and I all have two middle names and I plan to follow suit with  my children. My siblings and I have never had problems with it.

I do think it is a little much if all three names are just names he likes. But if her plans on using at least one family name or name with special meaning I think it is a great idea.  

Answer 13

I have 2 middle names and am very proud of both. I would not change it for any reason.

As for legal forms, both middle names are placed on. (Ex drivers licence, health care, socail security etc (as im flipping threw my wallet))

Answer 14

i dont think so i think that one middle name is good.

Answer 15

Only if you give it a mini van with a bumper sticker that says SOCCER MOM.
