Quick background::::> many people back then had longer names so adding a first name with two or three middle names or two last names is a good way to go. Think John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. (A song, if you get it) Go name those historical time period characters!
P.s. I find long names tend to come out better when balanced out with one short name and vice versa. Note it as a recommendation, but feel free to mix and match whatever feels right.
