My daughter is 3 and starts school nursery next week. I've got the class list and something has struck me.
In her class of 30 there are many repetition of names. There are:
2 Amelia's
2 Isla's
2 Harriet's
2 Lucy's
2 Poppy's
2 Harry's
2 Jacks
3 James/Jamie's
2 Zac's
The other names there are only one of but some are variations of the above (Emily/Lucas etc)
They are all lovely names, and I like them all.
It made me think of my own primary school. We were a large class too, 32 I think.
There were two Paul's and a Claire and Clare. But no other duplications. None of the names in my class were particularly exotic or unusual but there was lots at different names.
I wonder why that is?
