Well, I'm no expert either but I'll give you my impression: Capucine might be right about middle names not being en vogue in the 1980s, I'm a counter-example though: Born in 1987, I have a middle name that isn't even honoring. However, I do agree that picking a middle name which the parents "just liked" is becoming more and more common. I think honoring middle names have been in use for over a century (especially in catholic families where two middle names are no exception, one for either godparent). Yes, middle names in Germany are not mentioned as often as they are in the US but I regularly mention mine ;)
