ArchivesMiddle names and statistics
Hi!
Here in Italy double names (fn + mn) are rare while First name only is still the most used style.
I'm wondering: in the Anglosphere where middle names are normal, how statistics are collected?
For example: Liam and Olivia are the 2022 top choices but I guess that the most of them have a middle name.
In Italy double names are recorded separately. For example Francesco is #2 but Francesco Pio (the most popular masculine double name in Top200) is #100.
The same occurs for Maria that was #43 but Maria Vittoria (the most popular feminine double name in 2022) was #107.
How does it works where Anglosphere where everyone has a MN? I guess that middle names are never listed in statistics.
