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

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 😎😀

Never too late... choose yourself a middle name and get it added 😁

Louise. I don’t mind though. I quite like it, and the connection it gives me to my generation!

Helianthus23 · 02/06/2025 22:51

Almost Louise. Eloise. 70’s.

Born early 70s, and I have a long first name, so it balances well.

Best spelling there is 😁

Not sharing it but it's a perfectly normal 70's name with no family history associated with it.

But, my (much) older sister apparently picked it for me and 40 years later she's so smug and annoying about it. Planning on changing my name once my parents are away to remove the bloody thing.

I’m an 80’s baby with the middle name Rose. It’s after my nanna, who was named for her mum who was named for her grandma etc etc.

My daughter is the sixth Rose in the line :) It really irks me when people refer to it as a filler name. It’s got such a long history of usage in our family.

Elizabeth. First name is Louise 😂 think you can tell which decade I was born in, lol

Andoutcomethewolves · 03/06/2025 00:38

As in crystal healing and Crystal Gayle not the one from Dallas.

Thanks, hippy parents 🤣
