I actually have a tiny personal side project where I write down people's middle names off the credit applications I fill out at work and I just updated my spreadsheet today.
(I only write down middle names, btw-- I'm not out here stealing identities or anything)

---

Here's my top 10 filler middle names I've seen so far:

---

Marie
Ann
Lynn
Jean
Sue
Renee
Lee
Kay
Anne
Louise

---

Lee
James
Michael
Joseph
Alan
Allen
Robert
John
David
Edward

---

From your list, I have not seen these (yet, I've been at this job almost 8 months):
Li (for either gender)
Linn
Lin
Jade

---

Leigh (for males-- though it's my brother in law's middle name)
Josef
Joe
Ross
Cameron

---

I've only seen Grace once so far. It feels more like a modern filler. Like Pearl. I haven't seen that at work either.

---

People are more creative with boy's middle names-- I suspect more are are honoring rather than just "sounds nice". On most name lists I count, the girl's list is longer, but this time, it's the boy's list.
