All the girls in my school had Louise as a middle name. Except for those that had Claire. Late 70s/early 80s. I don't have a middle name :(

Louise. Every other girls middle name is Louise.

I was born mid seventies. I swear that it seemed like every girl in my class at school had the middle name Elizabeth - I used to get teased because I had a different middle name to everyone else.

And the weird thing is, I don't know a single woman my age who has Elizabeth or any variation of it as her actual name Grin

BarbaraWoodlouse · 19/06/2014 22:01

Louise (born 1974)

I was born in 1985, and throughout primary school I was the only girl in my year who's middle name wasn't either Elizabeth or Louise, other than one girl who's first name was Elizabeth.
I never liked mine (Beth) but really quite like it now Smile

I don't know any baby girls now whose middle names are not May/Mae or Rose... 2010s

All my peers are Claire or Louise... 80s
