Boring filler middle names

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

It probably shouldn't bother me, but I'm getting very bored of filler middle names. Three of my friends in the last few months have given their daughters the middle name Grace. Nothing wrong with it, except that it's getting very dull! I know that there have always been filler middle names, I have one myself (Ann, though it's also a bit of a family middle name as my mum and grandma have it, too), and it's absolutely nothing to do with me, but I thought I'd rant on here so that I can be all smiles to their faces!

I agree! Most of my friends have the middle name Lynn, Marie or Michelle. I think the new filler middle names are Rose, Grace and Kate.

My middle name is Rose (after my great grandmother) and growing up, no one ever had that middle name, so even though it's becoming popular now, I personally don't feel like it's a filler, but that's probably just because I was lucky enough to grow up in a generation (or at least those in my region) where it wasn't thrown around much.
