Really, what two or three syllable name doesn’t go with Rose? Rose and Grace are the filler middle names of this generation like Ann and Lynn were for our parents generation.
Proud Gen X’er here and this is hilariously true!
It was as of our there was a checklist/menu for our parents to choose our middle names!
Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl on this x day of x, 1967-74. Please choose from the following pre-approved list of middle names:
Ann(e) -recommended for your Jennifer
Lynn(e)-recommended for your Rebecca and/or Rachel or Jennifer
Marie - recommended for your Lisa, like Elvis
Michel(l)e
Lee or Leigh (or, alternatively Leighanne or Leeann and therefore no middle name)
Proceed with caution, but approved;
- Dawn
- Dian(n)e or maybe Dyan
- Nicole
- Renee
- Christine/Kristine
Stick Grandma’s name in the middle to “hide” it yet honor her - these are considered fusty, old and ugly as first names.
-Mary
-Gay/Faye/Gail/Louise/Charlotte
If you have a British heritage: please select 2 MN and one MUST be Louise.
