It's like that in Filipino Catholic families as well. Although it's also customary for the baby to receive the mother's maiden name as his/her middle name.
My parents were smoking something when they gave me 6 middle names (7, if you count my Confirmation name) at birth. Each name honors someone in my family or a place significant to my father's Hawaiian heritage.
