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!

Out of five kids in my family, one has two middle names and one has three. They flow together nicely and that's all I think that matters.

Alexander Carl Robert and Chloe Grace Maria-Cecilia. It doesn't make them stand out anymore than the rest of us do.

And how many times do you actually use your middle name? I had a few friends at camp once who tried to call me by my middle name, but it didn't work very well. Unless you're actively planning on calling your kid by (one of) their middle name(s), it doesn't really matter what they are. I just like names to flow- and not everyone does, so whatever.

Those are really pretty names. And yeah I can't see myself calling my child by his middle name...If I wanted to do that I'd swap it for the first!
