Marie, Nicole, and Danielle are the middle names of my generation. Most don't think about these coming and going in trends, but they do! The over-used middle names that you don't even realize you're over-using!
The "now" middle names are Grace and Rose. If you met a little Grace or Rose you'd think, "Oh that's a cute name!" because you don't meet all that many right now. I'd be willing to bet that you meet a whole lot of little girls with Grace and Rose in the middle though!
Not that long ago, I suggested Rose as a girl's name to my husband. He came back with, "That sounds like a middle name!" My eyebrows shot up. That's the point! It is a "middle name" name right now. Step out of the box!
Filler middle names are everywhere. Ann, Elizabeth, and Lee... just to name a few. Think outside the box when it comes to middle names!
I would just like to add that an exception to this is family names!
Here are some replacements for Ann, Rose, Leigh, Jane, and Grace in the middle name spot:
Belle
Lark
Greer
June
Lace
True
Pearl
Quinn
Blue
Bee
Brooke
Shea
Elle
Maeve (prn "Mave")
Rue
Prim
Faye
Dove
Next are middle name replacements for the two syllable Nicole, Marie, Danielle and Renee. These names are/have been popular because of the flow that a two syllable name with emphasis on the second syllable gives to names. So here are some more:
Adele
Elise
Cosette
Brielle
Chantal (ha!)
Capri
Meadow (almost... I think it could work)
Camille
Sarai
Cheyenne
Soliel (prn "so-LAY")
My next list is multisyllabic middle names. These work best with one and two syllable first names:
Naomi
Lydia
Juliet
Olivia
Athena
Abigail
Annabel
Sophia
Temperance
Romily
Annalise
Callista
Cecily
Bryony/Briony
Magnolia
Penelope
Violet
Thalia/Talia
There are a whole lot more where that came from. This is just a concise list to give you an idea.
