For Bavarian-German Catholics, your child's middle name is the name of thier godparent- so we have middle names from baptism on and then you add a second middle name when you have your confirmation.
(unless of course your first name is similar to your godparent's name, then you don't have a middle name- for example my Mother's name is Annelies, her godmother is Anne. so she doens't have a middle name since Anne is already part of her first name).
