father: Guillaume Jean Joseph Marie
grandfather: Henri Albert Gabriel Félix Marie Guillaume
great-grandfather: Jean Benoît Guillaume Robert Antoine Louis Marie Adolphe Marc d'AvianoSome other family members - cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-grandmother, etc.
Marie Astrid Liliane Charlotte Léopoldine Wilhelmine Ingeborg Antoinette Élisabeth Anne Alberte

Marie Astrid Liliane Charlotte Léopoldine Wilhelmine Ingeborg Antoinette Élisabeth Anne AlberteWow, that is quite a name. I like it.
Ronny was interesting to see as a 3rd middle name, too.I didn't know there was that much variation in length within families.

The older generations seem to have more names and back then it was common to use names of godparents as middle names + honoring grandparents + the obligatory Marie and you get quite a long name.Ronny is honoring, his mom is Tessy and her twin brother is Ronny. Even in the same sibset number of names can be very different.
For example: Gabriel Michael Louis Ronny
Noah Etienne Guillaume Gabriel Matthias XavierGuillaume Jean Joseph Marie
Félix Léopold Marie Guillaume
Louis Xavier Marie Guillaume
Alexandra Joséphine Teresa Charlotte Marie Wilhelmine
Sébastien Henri Marie Guillaume With the new baby I’ve read that the parents had fertility issues and he might be their only child, so I assume they wanted to honour all their relatives with him. And they had two deaths in the family last year, so those names were also used.
