Debutante names.

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

So my mother picked up this free magazine published about the posher side of our city, and it had a feature on girls who'd recently made their debut in society at this debutante ball (those still exist, apparently).  The feature listed their full names, and I couldn't resist posting the firsts and middles here.  Keep in mind that all of these girls are in their late teens (and possibly early twenties).

I think the surname-y middles may be family names and/or the mothers' maiden names.  Also, I have never seen Catherine/Katherine/Kathryn so overused in one place before.

Kind of makes you wonder about the class trickle down theory with names. These are girls in their teens in higher class society and coincidentally most are old fashioned or classic which is the trend going on now with baby names. I love a lot of the names listed.
