text: This is a question that will come up more and more often when the new generation of younguns come of age.  I have a grandaughter with 2 middle names and a nephew with 3 middle names.  I could get on a soap box about the indicisive nature of young people these days, but I will hold my tongue.  \n\nI think the traditional monogram is here to stay for now, and it only allows for 3 letters.  Some folks will say choose the "first" middle name, but it is my opinion that the person should be  able to choose his/her on monogram.  First name, last name, middle name of choice.  \n\nOf course, there are a number of people who do not go by their first name at all.  That opens up a whole nuther can of worms!  \n\nIt is just a monogram.  Do what makes you happy.  No worries!
