Help[Opinions] Babies Born Into Wealthy American Families
This list contains names from some of the wealthiest American families in history. Traditionally, family surnames are often given as first and middle names. Often these families give two or even THREE middle names to their children, incorporating familial surnames. Most of these names are used for boys and girls. It is common for girls born into wealthy families to be given a more feminine first name and two or three more masculine middle names. These are authentic wealthy family names given to American babies.

So are you saying that you have found most of these names only as middle names? Where did you find your list of children born to wealthy families to create this list?

For the boys, many of the names are given as first names as well as middle names. For the girls, most of these names are used as middle names, but not always. I found these names in many different places on the internet. Just search online for historical wealthy families in America or similar terms and you will find many different resources and a huge amount of information about their families, names, etc. It does appear that these wealthy families tend to marry within their peer groups and give their children family names (especially surnames).
