Thren:

It depends on a lot of things. A couple planning on only one child
might give him/her all the names they like, or it could be a matter of
relatives being disgruntled that they're not all included. Also, it
seems like the higher up the old world social ladder you are, the more
names you've got. ;)  (This could tie in with the 'Percival' thing,
which wasn't used among the lower classes.)
