Personally, I love Judah Wilder and find Willbanks "Banks" interesting. I think these people are pretty daring with the male names they choose. The female names, not so much. SO MUCH GRACE.

"Okay, what are your ideas? Taylor? Uh-huh. Fletcher? Cooper? Tanner? Where are you getting these? The Big Book Of Medieval Professions?"

I like:

Benjamin Atlas
Ezra Bradley
Jonathan Andrew

Hannah Rae
Annette "Netty" Grace
Hope
Amelia Rose

-Sidney is actually quite nice to see thought nms
-Derek is also surprising, and Annette too! I kinda like Netty :)
-Willbanks "Banks" is... absolutely awful. Poor kid!
-Madison Michael sounds like a boy... are you sure it's a girl?
-I can see why people would use Lexington on a girl, assuming they'd call her Lexi, but wow. It's just bad on either gender.

I'm positive Madison Michael is a girl. I saw her photo in floral blankets and they said, "she." I am wondering if its alongside the likes of James and Avery or if they went for an alternate spelling of Michal, which is a female name. I also know that she was adopted, so I wonder if that played into the choice. Either as them using the two names they like, knowing they won't have more children, or maybe the birth mother gave Michael. I don't really know.

Quite a few nice boys names!

What is with the Grace, Rae, Rose?! Why do girls get such boring middle names..
I literally don't like any of the girls combos...

I actually really dislike Grace so much..

Boys middle names aren't wildly exciting either.

I've counted over 4500+ boys BAs so far this year and 8% of them have the middle name James (with 5% being Michael and 4% being Lee).

Marie, Rose, and Grace are the top 3 middle names for girls, at 7%, 6%, and 5% respectively.

It just seems to be that lately the BA's that people have been posting up have HUGE amount of Grace's.

Actually come to think of it, in our mums group has babies with the middle names: 1 James, 1 Maria, 2 Grace, 1 Rose

I agree. People are so boring. Even my parents said they couldn't think of what name would pair well with my first name so just chose a filler. Blah!
