What are the pros and cons?
Cons: its stupid.
Two names became common a few centuries ago when our population increased and the double names reduce confusion. Otherwise the reason for extra names is adding a name, such as in the case of a dying child in hopes of recovery.
Jews almost never have the ten names. That is a custom of European royalty. I’m fairly certain that even three names is rare (based on looking at shul “aliyah” lists and yizkor placques)..
