Thoughts on the two middle names phenomenon?

It's not as common as just one, but I was curious what other people thought? Some celebrities/well-known public figures have two (like 2012 Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas' middle name is Christina Victoria and Bruce Springsteen is Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen).

Is it pompous or unnecessary? What are y'all's thoughts?
