The Most Common Middle Names For Girls At Cornell University, 1999












Name Nerds main

 This is a completely un-scientific list of middle names of students at Cornell University in 1999. It was culled from a directory from that year when I had a temp job whose only function was to answer phones that rang twice a week at most.I think the job ended before I was able to get a similar list for male names.
