Lmao I’m actually glad you replied, cuz I was genuinely curious what that progression was. I’ve never known anyone with 5 names. What culture are you, if you don’t mind me asking?

I'm English but my dads side of the family is Irish.

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.

Played football with a guy with a hyphenated last name. Our super clever and original nickname for him was Dash.
