[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks.  This is helpful.  I'm not 100% set on keeping my last name in the mix, but it is good to hear that it's not horribly inconvenient to have four names.  99% of the time our kid, like all kids, will be called by the first and last name:  Sam Smith.  But the official name would be Sam Joseph Silverstein Smith (not real name, obvs).  Aesthetically, I much prefer three names total--it just seems easier for forms, applications, etc.  But my father is deceased, and I feel a little (but not entirely) committed to keeping his last name in the mix.

Thanks! Other thoughts are still welcome.  It's great to hear from people who have 4 names.  Do you just use three of them on forms?

Also, we are going with a pronounceable and recognizable first name because I was always glad that I didn't have to correct people on pronunciation growing up.  Does having 4 names require constant correction on, for example, the first day of school?[/quote]

9:29 here - before we gave DD four names I asked around a lot, and the consensus from friends and family was that it wasn't a hassle and they encouraged it.  A friend said it made her feel special as a kid and another friend who added it when she got married said she's never had trouble with paperwork.  I think that sentiment is reflected in the comments here by people who actually have four names themselves.[/quote]
