How these were chosen
There is no official record of middle names, so these come from sound rules, not popularity: a different number of syllables from Jesus, a different first sound and ending, and no repeated consonant or vowel run-on where the names meet. Initials depend on your last name, so the full-name checker tests them. Candidates are names given to at least 2,500 boys in the last five years. Style groups use our measured style lists, and "same era" names are those with the most similar popularity curve to Jesus.
