[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my last name after marrying DH. We’re expecting our first baby now. I’m considering having my last name (one syllable) as a second middle name for the baby. That way, my last name would be part of baby’s official name without dealing with having a hyphenated last name (I don’t want to go the hyphenated last name route).  I’d like to keep the first middle name short with a one syllable name as well. Thoughts? Is it a hassle having two middle names?[/quote]

We did this for both of our kids. It’s truly no big deal. Never been a hassle.

My siblings and I also all have 2 middle names with our mothers last name as the 2nd middle too so I guess we’re carrying on a family tradition at this point. [/quote]

We did this too without any issues. Kids are older teens now. I kind of wished we switched for my younger child to have my last name and Dad's as second middle. Older DD has a first name from my ethnic background and combined with WASPy last name is interesting. DS has a WASPy first name and just sounds very generic and white for a half-brown child.[/quote]

We were considering switching for a second child but ended up with only one. [/quote]
