I like Anders Gregor David Perry, or
Anders David Gregor Perry. I am fond of the name David. Is it necessary to have two middle names?

This will be our 3rd and last baby. Older siblings both have double middle names.

It's hard to say "Anders Gregor". Anders Ronan flows easily and Anders David is also pretty easy, but that "-ers Gre-" is tricky. It's just a bunch of consonants all together.

Where I live, Anders means 'Otherwise' or 'On the contrary'. Not encouraging! And I find four two-syllable names excessive. If pushed, I'd change Anders to Andrew (which I'm not fond of) and Gregor to Gregory (for a variation) and settle on Andrew Gregory David Perry.

Anders is a variation of Andrew which means strong and manly. However, my brother's name is Andrew, who Anders would be honouring. My grandfathers name was Gregor (he had no middle name), also using to honour.

Anders is a perfectly normal name in a large portion of the world

Even I have met a couple of people named Anders. Totally fine.

Pretty common around here.It was on my list until I married an Alexander nn Xander. Anders and Xander would have been confusing.

Yeah, I can see how that would be confusing.Jeff has Norwegian relatives, and one of them was dating a guy named Anders for a long time. I don't know if they are still together.

Karl Anders is pretty common in my family tree.

I don't like any of this except Gregor. David and Ronan are alright.

This is my preference as well.
