Common Middle Names for Boys?

Are there standard middle names for boys?

Like how girls have [name_u]Marie[/name_u], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] etc.

[name_f]My[/name_f] guess would be [name_u]John[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] or [name_u]Joseph[/name_u], 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.
