Is it important to consider the middle name when choosing a Greek boy name?

According to Greek naming customs, individuals typically have a first name followed by a patronymic name and a family name. For instance, an example name would be Yiorgos Georgiou Aetos. The patronymic name is formed using the fathers name, often with the suffix -ou denoting of. For instance, Georgiou signifies(son) of Georgios. It is common for individuals to have a second personal name in addition to their patronymic name, which serves as their middle name
