[quote=Anonymous]My question is, why? What's your goal? If your goal is to preserve the name and make it a part of your child's name, then you should make it their middle name (with just one middle name) or hyphenate. Unless you are a royal, nobody will ever know or use your kid's second middle name. It will only be needed for official documents--and even then, the forms aren't really built for an additional name. I am a woman with a hyphenated last name, and our kids have hyphenated last names. Since they are boys, our double-barreled last name will carry on for at least another generation. My siblings and several friends gave their children the mother's maiden name as the one middle name. That's another way to carry on a name. I also know several women who went the HRC/RBG route and use their full name professionally (no hyphens; think: Jane Smith Jones). Your kid could do that, and then the name lives on in a meaningful way.[/quote]
