New Banner & Middle Names

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:

2 mns are the most popular, but more than a quarter of Telegraph parents chose 3 mns.

Telegraph boys:

 Two middles is also still the top for the boys, but the margin between 2 and 3 is not so large, as well as there being a larger % with 4 middle names.
