I started this thread awhile back and loved the responses. My list is constantly being updated (my friends keep spitting out babies!), so I thought it would be fun to repost.
My husband and I are expecting our first, a boy, in [name_u]January[/name_u]. Our names have been picked out for awhile, so I’m always on alert as to what my friends are naming their babies! It’s interesting to see who has similar taste, and who surprises me with names that are not my cup of tea.
I decided to post first & middle names of the kids I know so we can all take note of the trends. I’m separating the firsts & middles for the sake of anonymity. Here’s the list of what my friends have named their babies (so far)!

I am quite surprised at the constant repetition of girls’ middle names, but no repetition in the boys’ except Edward!
