Thats interesting. In Portugal, usually you have 4.
Same! In Latin America (I think whole South America as well) we have 4. Your first and second are given to you (some people only have one) the third is the first last name of your dad and the 4th is the first last name of your mom. My mom once told me that in the 50’s there was a trend of giving your children THREE names (wild times) Oh! Also if you are a woman and you get married at the end of your name is the last name of your husband as well so you end up with three last names
Its a bit like in here. Your parents give you two first names, then your mother's last and finally your dad's last name. If you are a woman when you get married you get another last name, your husband's.
Then doesn't that make a total of 5 names (in case you get married). Wow that's a lot lol Btw thank you both for sharing this! It's ruther interesting to learn. (=・ω・=)

Especially the part with "Do I really have to libe in the body of this fragile girl with such a long name" lol Actually in Russia you have "3 names" as in the first one is your given name, the second one is the name of the father(for example here her father's name is Yuri so Tatiana's second name is Yurievna ) and the third one is the last name. I am so excited for this one! Also I love how he/she doesn't magically learn the language lol
