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.
 
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.
