What middle name was popular when you were born/young?

[HilariousInHindsight]

Plus what decade was this.

Louise and Jane - late 70's.

Oh and John or James for boys. Usually with the first name of Steven, Mark or Andrew.

I was going to say Louise. Born in the 80s.

Jayne or Louise - 70s.

Elizabeth or Jane - 1970s

Louise 1980

Late 60's - Jane by far the most, also Helen, Claire, Elizabeth, Sarah.

60s, Jane and Jayne.

Louise, 1973

Mary, me and all my siblings have this, including my brothers. 60's-70s

Mine is Jayne - 1975.

80s, louise Elizabeth and Marie!

Like everyone else! - Louise, Claire, Jane - late 70s. James for boys.

Friends' 'modern' babies - mainly Rose

I haven't spotted a trend in my class of 10 year olds, although William seems to be reasonably popular for boys.

Louise must be one of the most popular middle names ever judging by this thread. It also happens to be my middle name (1980s) and my DSDs middle name (2001)!

In 1975, all babies, by law, had to have the middle name Louise. Even the boys. True fact.

Jane, Claire, Louise, Elizabeth or Marie (born 70s). Almost everyone in my all-girl class at secondary school had one of these - made me quite glad I didn't have a middle name. Agree with whoever said the equivalent now is Rose and May.

My best friend had the middle name Frances which I thought was beautiful.

60s - middle name nearly always Jane, or variant thereof.

Popular names generally included Louise, Helen, Elizabeth, Claire/Clare, Samantha, Emma, Patricia.

All the boys were called Dave, Chris, Pete, Paul, Simon, John, Jonathan, Andrew or Nicholas.

Angela, Linda - 80's.

Oh, how could I forget the ubiquitous Steves and Marks!

And Mikes!

Another one to say Louise and Jane, 80's!

Louise, particularly the fn mn combination 'Emma Louise', I know so many with that name!

Early 90s.

Helen, Louise - early 70s
I was born in the early 70s and one of these was nearly my middle name and the other one is my middle name (but is also my mum's first name). Who knew my mum was so trendy - my first name was unfortunately about 20 years out of date, and must have been popular when she was a child.

I think all my good friends when I was little shared the same middle name - Claire.

Louise and Jane. I know 4 Sarah Janes.
