Have the middle names Mae/May, Rose & Grace been cheapened by the double barrelling name trend?

They seem to be genuinely hated on here, I understand they have been very common middle names for the past 30 years but they are lovely imo that’s why they are so popular but I understand they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.

i think a lot to do with the hate is because they are used in a very trendy way a lot of the time. Rose especially has become quite a cliche, like Lily-rose, Ava-rose, Isla-Rose and people on mumsnet think hyphenated names are “low class”.

Why are they so hated on here, is it because of how common they are? Too trendy? I’m genuinely curious

@theunbreakablecleopatrajones What? 🤷🏻‍♀️

My point is, to me my daughter’s middle names aren’t fillers. They have meaning to our family. And I’m sure lots of other people chose them because they mean something to them as well.

My 90’s baby has May as a middle name (my grandmother was known as May) one of the mid 2000’s baby’s has Rose as hers (it was a toss up as to whether that was first or second name).

They flow and are family names in both cases - so I don’t care how ubiquitous they are.

I LOVE rose as a middle name I dont think there’s a name it wouldn’t go well with, people in this country tie theirselves in knots over whether their child’s name is too common/not unique enough meanwhile what percentage of Saudi Arabian men are named Muhammad? Do they give a shit ? No
