Stars with unusual middle names
I wrote down the names of some celebrities that were on the list in this article.
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence
Liv Rundgren Tyler (She thought that Todd Rundgren was her dad, so honoring her stepdad)
Carlos Irwin Estevez (Charlie Sheen)
Elton Hercules John (Maybe he was named to be flamboyant)
Rosemarie Braddock DeWitt
Daniel Wroughton Craig
Dianna Ernestine Ross
Martin Hayter Short
Mila Markovna Kunis (actually a patronymic, not really a mn)
Ben Teza Affleck
Uma Karuna Thurman
Hugh Mungo Grant (I want to think of Blazing Saddles when I see Mungo)
Alicia Augello Keys
Nicholas Caradoc Houldt
Ciara Princess Harris
Quincy Delight Jones (this one surprised me)
Rain Joan of Arc Phoenix
Ralph Twistleton Wykeham Fiennes
Zoe Yadira Saldana
Zach Knight Galifianakis
Blake Tollison Shelton
Elizabeth Stamatina "Tina" Fey
Mel Colm-Cille Gibson
Solange Ijiat Knowles
Arnold Alois Schwarbenegger
Nicholas Kim Cage (Coppola)
Adele Blue Adkins (I guess using Blue as a name isn't new)
Luke and Owen Cunningham Wilson
Some of them seem to be family names. Just because the writers (or I) wouldn't use them doesn't mean that using a family last name as a mn is unusual.

Ralph Fiennes' middle name is Nathaniel. Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes is his full last name.
Quincy Delight sounds like a delicious pudding!

'Ralph Fiennes' makes me think his family probably owns a couple of towns in Kent. 'Ralph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes' makes me imagine he owns most of Devon and Somerset and he's first cousins with most European monarchs...or possibly that he escaped from a Dickens novel. :)
Ha, probably all three. He's definitely related to the kid who played Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter films - whose name is Hero Beauregard Fiennes-Tiffin. 0_0
That was his nephew.
I've not watched Harry Potter so I've not heard of that actor but when I read his name I audibly snorted. It's probably fine if you go to a private school but I think going to a comprehensive would've been traumatic for him.
He's got a brother called Titan. I think the chances of state schooling were definitely zero there.
Titan :O I mean, I was in no way one of the hardcases at school - not by a long way - but having that name just screams 'put me in my place' unless you happen to be built like a brick sh*thouse, of course.
Meant to be under Pie's post
Although I read in an interview that the Fiennes family (Ralph and his siblings) were really poor growing up. They came from aristocracy but there were some family issues so their dad farmed and their mom was a writer. He said there were several Christmases when their parents said they wouldn't be getting any presents.
That's one family where I love all the names in the sibset: Ralph, Martha, Magnus, Sophie, Jacob, Joseph, and foster brother Michael.

It’s actually Benjamin Géza Affleck-Boldt, Adele Laurie Blue Adkins and Quincy Delight Jones is a junior. As RoxStar mentioned, for some these aren't their birth names.
I like:
Daniel
Caradoc
Ciara
Zoe Yadira
Elizabeth Stamatina -her mother is Greek
Colm-Cille -this is the name of Saint Columba
Solange
Alois
Adele Blue
