Re: When did Rose become THE middle name?
in reply to a message by AutumnSunset
Speaking as someone whose middle name is Rose, because it was a family name (on both sides)... I knew it was common, but I still wouldn't have called it "the" middle name. My perception has always been that Marie, Jane, and Lynn were all more common middles, putting Rose more on par with... idk, Louise.
These days, I think Grace is the most common middle name for little girls (in the US at least, I can't speak for other countries). Jane and Lynn might still be used a lot, but I think Grace is replacing Marie, which became a bit dated (maybe).
