Common Middle Names for Boys?

Boy Names

Are there standard middle names for boys?

Like how girls have Marie, Grace, Elizabeth, Catherine, Michelle etc.

My guess would be John, Paul or Joseph, but I’m really not sure.

I would definitely say [name_u]James[/name_u], and actually now I feel like [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is becoming one.

[name_u]James[/name_u] by far. Almost every guy I know either has the middle name [name_u]James[/name_u] or a brother/relative with the middle name [name_u]James[/name_u] (myself included lol!). Weirdly, every [name_u]James[/name_u] I know has the middle name [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] :thinking::sweat_smile: Maybe it’s to do with flow? [name_u]Or[/name_u] a big conspiracy :alien:

Other common ones are [name_u]William[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]George[/name_u], [name_u]Robert[/name_u], [name_u]Edward[/name_u]. I think compared to the first name, middles are more likely to be honours rather than necessarily “popular” names, which is why you see a lot of traditional-style names in the middle spot.
