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!

As someone with the classic British 80s middle name of Louise, I sympathise! Think about half my class at school had it.

ps just looked at your profile and we have a lot of real-life mutual friends. How odd!

That is odd! Did you go to Southampton Uni? My husband did, so that's where I know those guys from.

Ah, yes, I did! I went out with Bob years and years ago, which is how I know the rest of them. Small world!

For my baby I am using the name Ann. Which is a family middle name. But I'm changing it up! The middle name for baby baby if it's a girl will either be Anneliese or Annabel. :) that way I keep the Ann. But it's not so dreadfully boring.

I LOVE Anneliese and Annabel! Those are seriously gorgeous names. :-)

I feel you. All of the Brittany's (and the varient spellings) that I know have the middle name Lynn, yay 80s America. Come to think of it, my English roommate's middle name is Louise and she was born in '86. You don't often see that in America so I quite like it.
