How middle names are scored
How middle names are scored
A middle name scores well when its syllable count differs from the first name's, so the full name changes beat. It loses points for the same count, for a rhyme with the first name, and when the first name's last sound runs into it.
Middle names are usually steady names, so staying power counts more than fashion: how consistently a name has been given across the long-running records of France, Ontario and British Columbia.
Add your surname and the middle name is also checked against it, because the middle name is the one that meets the surname. The first name itself, its spellings and names on the same stem are never suggested.
