I have to agree 100%. And honestly unless your from some dynastic or royal family, I think it's rather tacky. A poor attempt of Nouveau riche to seem more affluent or prestigious then they are. But that might just be me. (And if I've offended anyone, sorry. It wasn't intentional)I think it's just really unnecessary to be honest. I don't see a whole lot of point to it.

But what if they're never in the position to have another child
In general I am not very keen on two middle names because it seems a bit pretentious, but I think LeAnne's got a point there, if the parents can't or won't have more children and want to honour family members, it's fine, as long as the flow isn't absolutely off. Of if you're absolutely stuck on a name combo, but the initials aren't so nice, like Daisy Olivia Grant (DOG). Daisy Olivia Jane Grant could be a way to fix it without switching names or finding another combo you like as much as the previous one.
Of course, sometimes it's a matter of family tradition, and I think it's fine too. But giving a child two middle names just because you can isn't my cup of tea at all.

I agree that it can seem pretentious, but it all depends on the names you choose.
Honestly, I prefer a kid with a "pretentious" 3-name-combo to one with a kr8ive or contrived name. I believe that if you can't decide on one middle name it's better to give your kid two than to invent a one that's a combination of all the names.

That is a good point to consider. I mean as long as the parents understand that only one middle intial will be used, if the child chooses to use it at all, on the Driver's License or Passport.I believe that if you can't decide on one middle name it's better to give your kid two than to invent a one that's a combination of all the names.

What's your opinion on 2 or more middle names on a kid? I've been seeing this a lot on the Genie Name Polls, and I really don't get it.
I've never gotten it either. It seems pointless to me. I have a couple of people in my family with 2 middle names, the middle names being after grandfathers, etc.

My full name was almost Emily Charity Helena, with Emily being my grandma's name and Helena my great-grandma's
Helena is my oldest's first name If you don't mind my asking, how does your family pronounce it? Helen-a, he-lay-na or some other way?

It's a gorgeous name I love both pronunciations, but my family tends to use "He-lay-na". Should we ever have another little girl after Victoire, I'm really considering using it.
