Re: Thoughts on the number of names

Agreed.
My family tends to use ancestor surnames as honoring middles. My sister did it, I did it, and two of my cousins did as well. Luckily, we have a lot of family names that are also traditional first names, or actual nouns.
I always root for significance, though people are free to do what they choose.
