Thoughts?

What is your honest opinion towards giving a child 2 middle names?

I feel my child is going to be male, although I won't be certain for another month. There are no more men on my husband's side of the family to carry on his last name. I thought about naming my child, if it's indeed a boy, after my husband....however there are a few favorite names I may like to honor as well...

It's all up in the air of course, but what do you think? I don't want the name to seem over done. I plan on making sure the name FLOWS and doesn't sound like jumbled nonsense.

Thank you!

We're doing two middle names. Lukas Keith Elmer. I have two middle names, as does my sister and my brother. I liked growing up with two middle names. There's only room for one on paperwork, etc, and you usually only use your first initial, so I felt special that I had a whole second name that wasn't known. And I loved it.

I don't think our son will love his second middle name like I loved mine, but it's because it's awkward. It's in memory of my grandfather who died when my dad was really young in a tragic accident. I never met him, but he was a good man, and I'd like to honor that set of grandparents the most.
