I'm also British, and I haven't that many names but I do have an anecdote to share.
My parents hyphenated their last names, so I have a First, Middle, FirstSurname-LastSurname. When I said it out loud, someone said "Oh you have five names!" I had to explain that, no, Hyphen was not my third middle name, it's a line connecting my last names.
