> I don’t think that’s too rare in the US eithe

Anecdotal, but the only people I've met in the US with more than one middle name are people who originally came from another country.

Although, I wonder if maybe that is enforced by the fact tha legal forms and similar typically assume you only have first, last, and optionally a (single) middle name.

George Herbert Walker Bush comes to mind as a native son of the US with multiple middle names. He used H. W. in politics, but that still includes some whitespace and non-traditional characters.
Or George R. R. Martin.
So you are saying Donald John Trump is likely not a US born Citizen?
"more than one middle name" :)
