I'm assuming you mean you're trying to please everyone in your family or something here? Normally, I'd say having Perry and Patterson next to one another was a bit too alliterative, but James Patterson being a pretty well-known author, you might want to avoid placing those in that order as well. Just some things that might be helpful (or make it even more of a dilemma LOL ... sorry!). ;)

I think 2 mn is fine! In fact, both of my sons have 2 middle names because my ex and I couldn't compromise on just one... in fact, my sons love it! Just be aware that the second middle name will be used FAR LESS than the first in official documents.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your responses. Hubby's Dad is Perry, whom I adore...just not the name. James is a family name from my side.

Well we are in the same predicament...
Annika Cordelia Katherine Cottle
So we are doing our own thing...probabally making one up!

Annika Janine Cottle or something like that!

So how about not initiating the chip and trying something unique? Food for thought...
Middle name suggestions for you are:
Garren
Johnathan
or even maybe...
Tristan Maxwell Patterson...ooh that sounds so charismatic.

Best of luck!
