What names do you consider boring/without substance?
My mum's middle name is Lynn and she says it is boring and a "filler name". What do you think? Any other names you'd consider "filler names"?

Might as well name your kid "Hey, you!".
LOL.
You just reminded me of something I hadn't though of in years, a kids show called Pinky Dinky Doo. Man that was the bomb.
Also I told my mum and she said Pinkity Dinkity Doo has more substance than Lynn and that she would prefer it.

Well it would really depend on her first name. The flow might be off, you know?

I feel the same way about Lynn / Lynne / Lyn. It's pretty much a waste of a space on the bc as far as I'm concerned. I know many mns are referred to as "filler," but at least with many of them (Marie / Maria, Anne, Renee, Christine, Michelle, Nicole, Danielle, Rose, Grace, Elizabeth), they're attractive and I can understand the appeal.
BTW, Lynne / Lynn features in my family as well as dh's.

Ella.
I think Lynn is fine as a first name. As a middle name, it's really just a syllable to fill the slot as blandly as possible... I was given Lynn as a middle name. I dropped it when I married, and put my maiden surname as my middle.
Filler middle names (that are not so bad as first names)
Ann / Anne
Elizabeth
Lee
Grace
Rae
Mae
Rose
Ellen
Louise
Claire
Guy filler:
William - possibly the most boring name in the world, and as a middle name it's infinitely boring.
Joseph
James
Robert
Michael
Lee
Wayne
Charles
Paul
Louis
Thomas
Richard
David
Jonathan
filler-ish, to a lesser extent because I think they are able to add character, but they often are very boring in the middle name slot
Marie / Mary / Maria
Jean / Jeanne
Jane
Joan
Catherine / Katherine / Kate
Nicole
Beth
Margaret
Lillian
Irene
Helen / Helena / Elena
Emily, Emma
Ruth
