I knew a guy whose entire family (4 girls, 2 boy, and of course the parents) all had 3 names plus a surname. Worse than that... they all had the same initials... B___ C____ R____ L______. How horrible. Keeping in tradition, he had two daughters and they both have fn, two mn, surname. THANK GOD they don't have the same initials!!!
I have met one person who had three middle names. I personally would not go past two middle names. I plan on using two for at least one child. I might use two middle names for all of them.
I've only known one with 3 middle names... besides royalty (which I do not personally know) usually its not higher than that.
I plan to name all my kids with 2 middle names as well.

Daughter to 6
Sister to many
Girl Friend to one
"Mommy" to another

One of my friends is Mexican (well, I have a lot of Mexican friends but I'm closest to her) and her name Jocelyn Beatriz Pilar Olivia Ines Juanita Crescencia Marisol +Surname
lol, I found it so funny that you know how you can label people on hotmail? That's her label. Well, the initials are. Her mom says her full name so often, I never forget what each letter stands for so her names on hotmail looks like this:

lmao. But I just call her Jocelyn :) Her abuela calls her Ines though.

Yeah, I was about to say in some cultures more names are given, and use Mexico and Latin America as an example!
Hmm, its all about personal taste & more often than not it has to do with family history. Everyone on my side gets two so that what we'll be doing. However, esthically I could tolerate 3 but its just seems like people are naming a bank then. After awhile it can make the parents look like they weren't naming a child but rather just trying to appease their egos and get everything they wanted in selfishly IMHO.
However, I remember a birth announcement that made headlines 5 - 10 years ago or so (somebody here must have the actual name, I'd love to hear it again. *nudge*) where this girl was given 13 middle names because she was born after 13 hours of labour & on the 13th day of the month (for some reason February 13 comes to mind) and that just seemed like a ridiculous publicity stunt to me. I remember thinking that it must have been a joke. Thats just too many names and quite frankly takes away from whatever the child's first name is. Besides, isn't that the fun & hard part - eliminating names & picking suitable combinations?
