As above write your middle/middles name in the box and the poster after you guesses what decade you were born 😊

My middle name is Michelle

Hi sorry been awol. I was born in late 1980's :). My parents were going to call me Michelle, but Dad didn't like the nickname Shelley that Mum wanted 😊.

Are you going to come back and tell us? 

This!!!

Mine was/is Frances Callon. I was born in 1979. The names are an aunt's name and a family surname.

ThighThighofthigh · 11/04/2020 02:33

The trouble is most people have the middle names Jane, Louise, Marie or Anne! It seems everyone from the age 30 - 60

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 10/04/2020 22:40

1974

mamasiz · 10/04/2020 19:26

Anne

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 10/04/2020 19:22

Have to admit I'm very surprised so many people guessed 80's for Sian, your correct but I always think of it as 'eraless' name as opposed to my first which is very much of the time I think

littlemisslumpy sorry no, I was born in 1956. My aunt Mignon born in 1923 had the same middle name. Was from the poem the raven by Poe.

AnnUumellemahaye · 10/04/2020 11:17

Middle names are not a good indicator of the year you were born. Many people give their children middle names to honour family members or Godparentsetc., that are quite a bit older. That could be an aunt who is only 16, a grandparent who is 50 or a great, great grand parent who has been dead forever.

IamHyouweegobshite · 10/04/2020 11:14

Jane 1960s
Louise 1970-1990
Debra 1970-1980
Nerys 1960
Michelle 1970-1980

TSSDNCOP · 10/04/2020 11:13

Sorry, I don't have a middle name.

DM thinks they're common pointless Grin

TSSDNCOP · 10/04/2020 11:11

1966 (I was born in 1968 and it was that decades name the cool mums chose)

IamHyouweegobshite · 10/04/2020 11:10

Sian - I knew someone in school with that name.
Louisa

TeensArghhhh · 10/04/2020 11:09

There were quite a few Michelle’s in school with me in the 1970’s so I’d say late 60’s

ButterflyBitch · 10/04/2020 11:09

OhNoNoNoNotThatOne No sorry you’re wrong. Plus I think writing a whole decade is cheating a bit Grin

notdoingitanymore If people knew my real life name or email as well as my middle name then yeh I could see the problem. Not that I’ve ever used my middle name on a security question. But I don’t think ButterflyBitch Rose is going to get then anywhere Wink

Floralnomad · 10/04/2020 11:06

Ps , for the person worried about security I never use middle name as an answer as it’s too easy for people to guess , particularly if you know the first name .

Floralnomad · 10/04/2020 11:05

I was the first Jane in the thread and the answer was 1966 for me . I totally agree that names like Ann , Jane and Louise can be multigenerational , my daughters middle name is Louise and she was born in 1999 .

sandalsinthebin · 10/04/2020 10:46

1967

Amymayapple · 10/04/2020 01:12

I am 1984 with My middle name - Louise.

I have a really unusual first name actually

custardlover · 10/04/2020 00:47

1980

SageRosemary · 10/04/2020 00:46

1982, unless your father was called Michael, in which case all bets are off

spinthebottle · 10/04/2020 00:38

If your middle name is Louise you were born between 1993-1995 bonus points if your first name is Hannah Grin
