My sister married a Nigerian man, so as per tradition, her husband’s parents chose a middle name in Nigerian and we were allowed to choose a middle name from our roots. Their kids’ first names are Nigerian as well. So yes, they legally have three names plus a surname.
I can’t imagine what the kids will be thinking when they grow up and have to fill out government-related paperwork. Maybe they’ll be used to it, but I doubt it since one of them has a super long Nigerian middle name.
To be fair, I totally forgot my middle name until age 12 because I never needed to use it. I’ve never forgotten it since then, especially because my parents made it into a funny memory. (≧∀≦)
When you can’t choose a baby name so you give him all 3 .
