Hurrah. Yes, I have a new banner. Am at university at the moment, so my output will be rather slow (hence no posts since Jan 1). So much snow here.
I'm still poking around with the Telegraph/Times names lists, but here is the top 10 girls middle names (any position) for Telegraph:
| 1 | Rose | 101 |
| 2 | Elizabeth | 69 |
| 3 | Grace | 62 |
| 4 | Mary | 48 |
| 5 | Jane | 37 |
| 6 | Alice | 32 |
| 7 | Charlotte | 26 |
| 8 | Louise | 26 |
| 9 | May | 25 |
| 10 | Ann | 22 |
I'm surprised that Ann isn't higher (though Anne is #14, two spellings may have dented Ann's popularity a little) - it feels much more like a middle name to me than Charlotte. Still, this list proves that Rose reigns surpreme.
Times girls:
| 1 | Rose | 64 |
| 2 | Elizabeth | 41 |
| 3 | Grace | 33 |
| 4 | Mary | 33 |
| 5 | Alice | 23 |
| 6 | Jane | 18 |
| 7 | Anne | 17 |
| 8 | May | 17 |
| 9 | Charlotte | 16 |
| 10 | Florence | 13 |
Sorry for the strange spacing. Once again, Rose is #1. Alice & Jane have swapped places, while Anne is up in #7 (Ann is #12). Louise has dropped all the way down to #15, and so Florence (#12 Telegraph) is up to #10. There are fewer births in the Times list, so that accounts for the fewer middle names.
Number of middle names - Telegraph girls:
| No. Of mns. | % | |
| 4 mns | 10 | 0.85 |
| 3 mns | 333 | 28.34 |
| 2 mns | 736 | 62.64 |
| 1 mn | 96 | 8.17 |
2 mns are the most popular, but more than a quarter of Telegraph parents chose 3 mns.
