As such, it is VERY appropriate if this chumrah can be instituted – that as a general rule we should only give one name, subject to exceptions of sholom bayis / avoiding machlokes, tzorech godol, hefsed merubah, sha’as hadchak etc. But that should be the EXCEPTION, not the rule.

The more you post, the more I become convinced that every time you say that something is a “very appropriate chumra” to institute, the more I become convinced that the exact opposite is true.

Either that, or (more likely) you’re just throwing the most outrageous things you can think of out there and seeing what gets reacted to.
