I know a lot of names that are very common as first names but not very common as middle names. On the other hand I also know a lot of middle names that arent very common as first names. For example I know so many kids with the middle name Marie or Ann but I only know one girl with the first name Ann. The same is true with boys. I know so many kids with the Middle name Scott probably around 20 or more but I've only met probably 4 people in my whole life with that as the first name.

Ann does seem to be a common middle name. But Scott? I didn't know that. I knew a few boys in school who had it as their first name. Although maybe it was really their middle name and they used it as their first name. Who knows? People do that sometimes, after all. Happy mylotting!

Thats that your name in english means god of world. My name Shannon in some language I cant remember what means little lamb or little wise one I believe. People do name their kids all different names like you said. Some are named after relatives some are named after celebrities. I just liked my kids names so thats why I named their first names what I did. My daughters middle name is after her grandmother though.

yes, I also often find the same. Lots of common names, so even generally, the human name is also used as a nickname pets. This happened in my neighborhood, there's my neighbor named bruno, while my dog's name is also "bruno"

Haha thats funny that your neighbor and your dog have the same name. Was that just coincidence or did you like your neighbors name and decide to name your dog after him? Bruno sounds like a great name for a dog but I cant imagine naming my son that.
