Hello, cool middle names, and bye-bye to the bland connectives of generations past, the ubiquitous Ann that almost sounded like and, because the middle name has now taken on a much more active part in the naming process. It's a place to honor the family, be creative or whimsical, use a name you're not quite brave enough to try as a first.
<br></br>
Among the most popular middle names today are Grace, Rose, and Marie for girls, and James, Lee, and Michael for boys. We'd coolify them as Gray, Roux, and Marais, and Jaz, Lane, and McCoy.

Single-syllable names are especially cool in the middle right now. Recent celebrity choices include Dove, Sage, and Wolf. You may want to look for a middle name with a cool initial, such as Ximena, Quebec, or Zane.
