Some girls like to use their maiden name as a middle name when they get married rather than a hyphenated last name and that would give her 3 middle names

I just figure it is a big deal naming a baby... give it a thought maybe
the reason we want Lynda and also Jean is that we are both very very close to our mums and both wanted their names as a middle name. I quite liked the idea of mixing them up though... like Jenda or something as my middle name is Elma.. EL = Elizabether and MA = Maryanne (my 2 grandmothers) and we may not have another girl!
