There are no 2 girls with the same name in either of my sons school classes (age 7 and 9), nor are there at the playgroup I work, or have there been at either playgroup my DSs went to.

My impression is that Ellie/Ella/Ellis are fairly common
Also Isabel/Isabella

From reading this board/from acquaintances:

Isabel/Isobel/Isabella etc
Amelia
Emily
Ava/Eve/Eve/Evie

And EVERYONE seems to use Rose or May/Mae for a middle name.

I've got a Charlotte Isabel and a Phoebe Rose so am feeling rather depressed after reading this thread.

My own thoughts are that there are a lot of little girls called Ellie, Grace, Ella, Lilly and Anna at my daughter's preschool.

I know 2 Sofia/Sophia's also.

Evie/Ella - lots
Milly/Molly
Lily/Poppy/Daisy - Very, very popular, almost every baby born in the last 6 months is one of these!

Isobel/Isabelle/Isabella - DD1 (11) was nearly one of these Soooooo glad we did not use it, there are 3 in her class and I have lost count of the number we know.

Grace/Ruby/Scarlett - also lots of these.

But I love all these names, they are so pretty so I can see why they are so popular.

Will definately be the Emma/Sarah/Louise of this generation.
