Last minute middle name decision!!!!

Okay...in a last minute decision, my DH and I have decided to give our triplets two middle names....AHHHHH!!!! I wanted this to begin with, and he said 'no way'. Then, last night, he says he's thought about it and now agrees.... So....we need a second middle name to go with these:
Francesca Elizabeth __________ Adler
Anastasia Renee __________ Adler
Nathaniel Bruce __________ Adler
Sebastian James __________ Adler
The first middle names that we've chosen are all family names and we dont want the 2nd middle names to be family names.
**We couldn't wait any longer to find out the sexes of our babies, so we compromised and found out if we were having all of the same sex, or two of one and one of the other... Satisfied our curiosity without giving it away completely ;-)
They're not due till the beginning of March, but they'll probably be here in the next couple weeks (most triplets are born way early).
Please help us out!!!
TIA!!!

I cannot imagine giving triplets 2 middle names. Don't you think it is going to be hard enough with three kids with one middle name? I have twins and I would have never given them 2 middle names, no way!
Sorry, Brooke
Wow! You are an inspiration for those of us that can't come up with ONE name!!

A few suggestions:
Francesca Elizabeth Pearl Adler
Anastasia Renee Flora Adler
Nathaniel Bruce Eliot Adler
Sebastian James Asher Adler
Francesca Elizabeth May Adler
Anastasia Renee Eloise Adler
Nathaniel Bruce Coe Adler
Sebastian James Grey Adler
and one 'theme', because I can't resist:
Francesca Elizabeth Rose Adler
Anastasia Renee Clair Adler
Nathaniel Bruce Grey Adler
Sebastian James Roan Adler (they're all colors; Rose pink, Clair clear, Grey & Roan red/brown)
edited to add: my siblings, myself, my SO and my children all have three names plus a surname. The second middle differentiates us from others with our surname (not super common but common enough) and when we monogram, we get to choose which middle initial we want! I like the option of being LEM or LSM on my towels or luggage or whatever. :)

Definitely not in favor of two middle names...
Most places will only monogram up to 3 initials, which means that your kids won't be able to have monogrammed diaper bags. And, your girls won't be able to have monogrammed stationery or jewelry. Your boys won't be able to have their initials printed on their briefcases, or engraved on their cuff links. I suggest you reconsider.
And, I agree with the previous poster. Francesca, Anastasia, Nathaniel, and Sebastian are all GORGEOUS names. But, they're long--9 letters long. And, you've chosen pretty substantial middle names for them. Francesca Elizabeth is 18 letters all by itself. If you just absolutely must given them another middle, then go SHORT--even better, something with one syllable.
Girls: Tess, Ruth, Rose, Clare, Belle, Kate (Cate), Zoe
Boys: Sage, Luke, John, Zeke, Jack, Ian, Ben
Actually, I remember that you want to tie them together. So, since Tess is a nickname for Elizabeth, and Anna is part of Anastasia, what about this: Francesca Anna-Elizabeth and Anastasia Tess-Renee? I like the shorter name in front, and I like it better with a hyphen--makes it look more pulled together.
Good luck-let us know which ones you decide on (or if you decide just to let them stand, which would be wonderful).
Anastasia Renee ___Louise_______ Adler
Nathaniel Bruce ___William_______ Adler
Sebastian James ___David_______ Adler

Anastasia Renee-Laure Adler
Nathaniel Bruce Charles Adler
Sebastian James-Luc Adler
Question - how will they handle forms, etc. when asked for their middle initial? We are considering adding a 2nd middle name since we will have my maiden name as his middle name (my hubby & I also took my maiden name as our middle name at marriage). But we're reconsidering because we're not sure about the practicality of it all...Thoughts?
Here are my suggestions:
Francesca Elizabeth Amber Adler
Anastasia Renee Else Adler
Nathaniel Bruce Jakob Adler
Sebastian James Gavin Adler
