is there a reason to specifically give more than one name? or is it just preference?

Some ppl have a minhag to give two names when the first original name is a common name.
So as not to have issues in shidduchim etc

Some of mine have one and some have two. No particular reason for each, it’s just how it worked out.

Each of my kids has at least two names. Thanks to infertility, every time I have a child I know it may be my last so I name after multiple relatives. My daughter is named after four people plus the time of year that she was born, and my son is named after eight people.

Personal preference.
I know someone who always gives two names because that's what her parents did and she thinks that's the way it should be because she grew up with that.
We give one or two names, depending on who we're naming after etc.
Some people are makpid to call the child the full name given (no nicknames), so would not name a second name unless they are going to call them that name.

It's a very interesting thread.
It's also cultural, I notice some cultures give 1, others 2, others 3 etc. Some have very strict patterns like some Sephardim, etc.
For me the Shoah played there, unfortunately, yes so many to name after - and I discovered actually some HAD been named after but I didn't know ! But some of those were also names I loved.
Our sons have 4 Jewish names, our daughters have 3. I now hope either Hashem sends me a healthy boy or at least one of my children will want to name for my dad zal.
