If you have one and only if you're comfortable sharing of course!

In 20 years, women will be discussing how all their middle names are Rose, Grace and Mae

Nothing wrong with Karen.

Marie 70s

DontAskMyMiddleName · 02/06/2025 21:48

Name changed for this because it's totally outing. My parents had no reason for lumbering me with this one.

Constance.

Argh.

Lou670 · 02/06/2025 21:50

Elizabeth, the same as my Mum's.

Martine (uncle was Martin)

GhostOrchid · 02/06/2025 21:54

Mary. Family tradition.

Almost everyone I was at school with was, yes, Louise or Jane.

Zoflorabore · 02/06/2025 21:54

born 1978, middle name is Christina

WhatIsAScottishEgg · 02/06/2025 21:55

Jayne. If you were born late 70s or early 80s it was highly likely you'd have Jane, Elizabeth or Louise.

Mollysocks · 02/06/2025 21:56

Rose

My sister is Louise and it means “Famous Warrior” for all those Louises out there - be proud!

Jane.
Everyone my age (50s) have middle names Jane, Ann, Louise.

That’s me & my two sisters. All 70’s babies 😂.

ButteredRadish · 02/06/2025 21:56

I don’t have one. Neither does my mum or sibling

NatashaGurdin · 02/06/2025 21:57

Eva which was my maternal great grandmother's first name. I was born in 1966.

You have touched a raw nerve here op. 😁 I was born in 1952. I don't have a middle name. My two brothers do have middle names. When I asked my mother why they had middle names but I didn't she said ...and I quote ...I didn't think it was necessary for a girl! , What!! 😱😱 Were my brothers ..and therefore all men ...more important than me 😁 I'm so glad that girls born today have more value than that 😎😀

I don’t have one either

Endiof · 02/06/2025 22:00

Susan, a very common 50s/60s name
