i like the name malachy jack for a boy but my partner wants to add thomas , jeffery to it the names of our fathers i think its to long and it spoils the name what are your opinions ?

hey hun, maybe its abit on the long side, but to be honest it doesnt sound that bad at all.. maybe as your not to sure about addding thomas and jerffery you could just add your hubbys dads name? xx

I think Malachy jack Thomas sounds nice.  My daughter is called Molly Joyce Poppy, and im currently 31 weeks preg and will give my next child 2 middle names as well

Both my children have 3 names as we all have had for many generations. We have a couple of traditions that seem to have lingered. The eldest daughter gets Grandma's maiden name and we try and choose fairly unusual first names with more ordinary second names...So I have Bryn Michael James and Kira Padraigin Stone...each name has a different story and the children love them. As have I with my name which is Imogen Veronica Cardle (can you tell which were the eldest girls :-)?).

It is entirely up to you how many names or what names you want. I wouldn't worry what other people think as long as you are happy with your choice.
