Filler middle names
Oct. 26th, 2007 09:52 pmSo, what exactly would all of y'all consider to be "filler" middle names? For my generation, at least (I was born in 1989), the most common middle names seemed to be:
Boys - James, Michael
Girls - Ann(e), Elizabeth, Jane, Leigh, Lynn(e), Marie, Nicole
I feel like Leigh and Lynn, particularly, have lost a lot of appeal over the years, but the rest seem to still be going strong. I must admit, though, that I really like Jane for a middle name, despite its filler status.
So, am I forgetting anything? Have any new names gained filler status over the past eighteen years?
ETA - I forgot about Renée for a girl.
