At your school, what were the 3 most popular girls called?

And, if applicable, what are the 3 most popular girls at your dc' school called?

At my school it was Alexandra (Alex), Natalie, and Christine.

At my dc's school it's Natalie, Jessica and Sophia

Light hearted nonsense to while away a not so happy day.

At the second one it was Lisa and Michelle

You are late 40's and Irish right? 😂

I have often thought about this “popular girl” thing. I have no idea who they were at my school. Someone suggested this would be because I was one of them, but if I were, shouldn’t I have known?

Emma, Alison, Lorraine, Claire, Gillian

Andsoitbeganagain · 01/05/2026 18:54

Gillian
Tracey
Helena
I'm retrospect I have no idea why they were so popular. They all had orange faces, reeked of fags and impulse and had the collective iq of a teapot.

SuperGinger · 01/05/2026 18:53

Lisa, Nikki and Sarah

Delici · 01/05/2026 18:52

For me it was Hélène, Sabine and Katia. They were mostly awful.
I have four dc but I’ll go with the youngest. The ‘popular girls’ were Saffron, Kitty and Eden.

TheNotSoFullMonty · 01/05/2026 18:50

Primary: Georgia, Emily, Sophie
Secondary: Georgia, Emily, different Sophie
Different sixth form: Lisa, Lucinda - 3rd place varied

loryN22 · 01/05/2026 18:50

Sarah, Emma, and Jessica. Same names still going strong.

HouseHouseHouse7 · 01/05/2026 18:49

Rachel, Maxine, Bethan. The latter had moved from Wales. They were really nice girls too.

DC - Olivia, Fern, Amy. Again, not mean girls as far as I know.

Conkersinautumn · 01/05/2026 18:40

Emma, there probably were others, but this is just based on the one person who seems to still check in (in a warm genuine way) with people.

There were others when we were there - Alex was head girl and went into singing I believe

Bubblewrapart · 01/05/2026 18:39

I can't remember any of their names! Can recall their faces....but not names. They were all a combination of sporty (in the harriers and on the hockey team etc) and academic (top of the class more often than not), and genuinely seemed to be really nice people. This would have been early 2000's. Remember thinking it didn't match up with the movies at all to have popular kids which were nice, brainy and good at sports. 😂

Remembered the second I posted....one was Layla!
