Naming your new baby should be one of the simplest things to do, and yet it is often one of the most difficult. While the last name is normally an easy and obvious decision, choosing a first and a middle name for your baby might not be so simple. Especially when you have the opinions of both you and your partner, not only battling each other, but also Aunt Flo and Grandma Gertrude who both believe you should name your baby after them.
A mouthful
Some people wonder if having more than one middle name is too much for a child. In reality, it probably doesn’t make that much of a difference. Most kids do not use their middle name on a daily basis, even if they know it. However, it may be a mouthful for even an adult to say, especially if you are naming your son after his daddy which would lead you to add on a Sr and a Jr to the end of the name. Kids like being unique however, especially as they get older, so giving your child multiple middle names may help them feel like they are special as teens and make them feel like they have an identity all their own.
Celebrity middle names
Giving a baby multiple middle names is a trend that has been picked up by celebrities who want their children to represent something important to them, so that the whole world knows. It is becoming a popular thing for celebrities to do, which means it will probably continue to gain in popularity for the rest of the world. We have compiled some great examples of celebrity babies with muliple middle names for you:

While most of these celebrity baby names have only two middle names, there are several that have three and even more! With no guidelines for naming a baby you can choose to give your baby as many middle names as you want. Even if that means you baby has no middle name, or 10 of them. Be prepared though, your child may not be too happy when they grow up and are asked to sign their “full name” on a legal document.
