I think the problem is going to be on identification, where everything needs to match exactly if you want to get on a plane, etc.[/quote]

It's not a problem. [/quote]

Because you don’t work for the state department.  Yes it can be a problem.

I have a sense this isn’t an adoption.  Birth name i’m guessing op meant by family tradition name b/c she said dh doesn’t care.  To me meant all boys in a family are named larlo.[/quote]
So it will be a problem if you work for the state department? Because many of us with 4 names have said it’s not a problem. And yes, OP has stated that the birth name is due to an adoption, so keeping that name is important, IMO, and trumps the slight inconvenience of when 4 names is an issue.[/quote]

This has to be a joke. The state department hires tons of people with all sorts of names with accents that don’t exist in the English language. There are tons of people with 4 names (and even more!) There are people with super long last names that don’t fit on the allotted space. Somehow all of those people have no problems traveling all over the world, using at least 2 different passports and getting local IDs in dozens of countries.

If you’ve never had a passport and left the country, I could see how maybe it would be difficult to comprehend that there’s a big world out there. Most of the billions of people in this world do not adhere to the old school American tradition of first middle last name. Shocking, but true. 4 names is not a big deal at all. Zero issues. [/quote]
