Re: number of MNs
I wouldn't want my sibling to have a different number of names than me. And I do find it a bit odd when siblings doesn't share the number of names.

I agree. It may be silly, but as a child if I had a different number of names than my siblings I would have felt like the odd one out.
As an adult it matters less, but I still like the balance of a shared pattern in a sib-set. One exception would be hyphenated double-barrel names, which in my mind would count as two separate names when considering the number of names given.
