Filler names

What, in your opinion, are examples of filler names?

To me the biggest filler name of all time has to be [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. It’s a great name that goes with a lot of other names really well and I swear, every other girl I grew up with had the middle name [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

I think any short name can be classed as a ‘filler name’ if it is used for no other reason than it sounds ok with the first and the parents couldn’t think of anything better.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f] are obvious examples.

Though I find it sad when parents choose these names for the right reasons (they love the name, it’s a family name, it has special meaning for them etc) and then it is dismissed as filler :frowning:

[name_f]Marie[/name_f] was definitely a filler name back in my moms time. I dont see many people choosing [name_f]Marie[/name_f] as a middle anymore though. These days I find [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] to be middle name choices.

There are no filler names. I cannot believe that anyone would just give up and not put any thought into a name. I actually find it very annoying hearing people on forums calling beautiful names fillers. [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f] could be honor names and people are taking it upon themselves to call them fillers, very insulting.
