[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave my DC my last name as their middle and am glad, but sometimes wish I’d chosen another middle name as well. So I like your solution, OP. I don’t think it’s a big deal to have two middle names. The thing about names is that most of the time you can go by whatever you want, and then when you have to provide your legal name on paperwork, middle names are optional 90% of the time. And when they are not optional, often they are space limited, so you can just put initials (or get mail with a partial middle name on them).

Point is, it really doesn’t matter and you should give your kid the name you want.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks! This is why I was thinking of doing two middle names. I wanted the first middle name to be a traditional given name. My last name sounds like a last name and wouldn’t ever be used as a first name. Plus, I would like the first middle name to be my mom’s name.

I realize the second middle name would hardly ever be used but would still mean a lot to me if my last name was part of DC’s name in some way. I guess I’m more concerned about any potential hassle for DC going forward. Not sure if the folks who fall in the “just do one middle name” camp have any justification other than they don’t like it for me to weigh the pros and cons. [/quote]

I was wondering which middle name would be used when only using one.  Like Full name:  Elizabeth Anne Smith Brown Would you fill out a form as Elizabeth Anne Brown or Elizabeth Smith Brown?[/quote]
