If there's one piece of #parenting advice I could give to people who don't yet have children, but plan to, it's that you should give your children two middle names.

Sure, it can be annoying when a form doesn't allow for a space or whatever.

But you remember when you were a kid and your parents called you by your first and middle name, and you knew you were in trouble?

Imagine how much more intimidating it would be if they escalated from one middle name to both? You could hear yourself getting on progressively more trouble.

It's a great discipline technique.

@danjones000 My advice is give the kids at least one "normal " name so they have choices. Lilith Susan Lastname, Steven Godzilla Lastname, etc.
