Anyone else rocking a really long name?

We named #2 Declan Ezra Benjamin Wyndham H.  People look at me like I'm nuts but it is his full legal name.  (Dad's name is Ethan Izaak Balthazaar Hieronymous H. so it's a family thing).  Are we in good company?  Any other bumpies have ridiculously long names for their kids?

I gave my first pet 3 middle names.  I just couldn't decide.  Willowby Emerson Matthew George Simon.  Simon was my last name.  :-)  I called him Willow.

Matthew was after Dave Matthews and George was after George Clooney.  I was 13 at the time, haha.  Those were apparently important enough to me.

DS is Nathaniel Archimedes Miknevicius, my last name, and one of our girl names picked out for the twins is Caroline Mary Devlin Miknevicius Porter, mine and MH's LN, sooo I could say I'm partial to long names. I am, however, debating dropping my LN out for these babies and just giving them their dads LN but I'm undecided.

I almost gave DD my (quite long) last name as a second middle name. In the end, I just didn't like the way it flowed, so she just got DH's last name and one middle name.

Hahaha I didn't realize until I got to the end and re-read that you said it was your pet. I thought it was your child and I was like WTF.

My DD has a long name: Shelby Kate Louise C. DD has a double first name and her mn is a family name. Our last name is only 4 letters. It's long but not super long ;)

This.

We get side-eyed all the time because of it. We feel that honoring family is important and don't plan on having tons of kids so it makes sense for us. Still, I feel like more than 2 middle names is kind of pretentious.
