   You can pretty much use any combination of your birth name and his name that you want. My mother had three middle names at birth. (They kept passing down the mother's family name as a middle name for the next generation.) When she got married, she made her former last name into a fourth middle name, and took my father's…

   I have known people with 2 middle names. But check the name change laws in your state. The marriage license changes your last name, it may not be valid for changing/adding a middle name. In which case you will have to petition the court and pay court costs to change your name if you want it to be a legal name.

   I've had two middle names since birth. Both names are on my SS card, college degree, etc., no hyphen. On forms that only allow for an intial, like driver's license, etc., I use the first letter of my first middle name. So living with two middle names is fine. I only had an issue with it once, when I first got my driver's…

   My FI's Aunt changed her Maiden name to her last name, but kept her orginal middle name also. She's one of several people I know who have two middle names. It's not so bad and can be really kind of fun. Especially in your case, it's like you have generations of geneology in one name. Very sweet.

   I'd just change mine to 4 names (no hyphen...I've never seen that done)

   I have two middle names, both of which were given to me at birth. Usually my legal document either say first name C. last name or first name C.J. last name. You should not have any problem with it being to confusing but I have lived with 2 middle names my whole life so maybe I am just used to it!

   I kept all four names. Although I just kept both my maiden name and my married name as last names (unhyphenated).

   My Fi has had two middle names since birth and he's totally fine with it. He uses the initial of the first middle name as his middle initial on forms. He uses his full name on things like diplomas and our wedding invitations.

    I did the two middle name thing for first marriage. So my SS card had first name, middle name, maiden name. married name.
