Spanish names like José Antonio Rodríguez Blanco (Just made up that one) have two names and two surnames (one from each parent) and it can be longer based on an awfully long name. My mom's name is 4 words long plus the two surnames.

At least they aren't generic poo poo like all of you americans being Jon Arbuckle.

Here in the Netherlands (limiting things to traditional names. Sorry I don't know much about names in immigrant families and such):
- A single first name: very common, usually not church-goers.
- A combined first name with a dash in between like "Floris-Jan": the kid of former nobility. They consider themselves very important, become frat members and then get a job in the financial sector where their sole purpose in life is to gently caress over the poor.
- Two or three "first names" (every name that's not the last name/family name is considered a first name): Usually, but not always, the second and optionally third name are baptism names that are added when they're baptized as a baby.
- Even more than that: someone with very quirky parents.

I have, uh, four "first" names, with the fourth being the one I'm addressed with. International travel is very easy and other countries never mess that up.

Also, in Sweden, "middle name" legally means "a second last name", like if you decide your dad's maiden name was cool and want to have that too, but due to English influence like 90% of people refer to all the first name that aren't the one you're addressed with as middle names. This has resulted in at least one case I know of of a guy essentially making one of his last names "John" because he did not properly fill out the form when changing his first name.

I mean we don't even manage to not gently caress it up here, where it's standard. Official information like the tax registry marks the name of address, usually underscored on papers or with a "it's this name"-field in digital information, but I have gotten student cards or other official communication using just my first first name. So despite living in a country where like a third of people don't have this name first, a lot of people and systems don't understand that this is a thing that can happen.

My mother in law almost missed a cancer treatment because the system has only used her first name, and the receptionist therefore didn't find an appointment when she introduced herself with her second one, which is her primary.

It's all stupid as hell.

Not sure if this is true anymore - I moved to Sweden from the US a few years ago and they didn’t have too much trouble with my middle name or the space in my last name. Mail comes addressed properly and everything.

It definitely still means that and is the definition presented in the tax authorities website, which is where you'd go to change it etc, but that doesn't mean you get any problems in practice.

It's also possible that english-language forms would use the English definition, to avoid confusion. Depending on how you told them your middle name, it could be registered wrong, but since the line between first names, middle name and last name isn't usually indicated but rather implied (because people can tell where first names end and last names begin, at least when the names are Swedish), it might not be noticeable in practice.
