One of our sons and one of our daughters have 2 middle names, and we entered them both (in the usual order) whenever middle names were asked for.

I am from Egypt and I understand your point which bothers me too as all arab nationals have the same problem.
Your name in all official documents is: Ahmed Ali Mostafa Elshenawy
Your first name is: Ahmed
Your last name is: Elshenawy
Ali and Mostafa are the names of your father and grandfather which I don't know if they are considered middle names. I guess this is different from Orlandovillas' kids' cases as the second name belongs to the kids themselves. Could anyone clarify this point for us?

You should read the relevant section in the Foreign Affairs Manual: 9 FAM APPENDIX F 600 GUIDES ON PROPER NAMES AND NAME CITING. It can be found here:
