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.

State comprehensive in the 1990s - Vicky, Lydia, Jade and Renka.

In my children's school the popular girls are Emmy, Amelia, Florence and Lily. Most of the boys (popular or otherwise) appear to be called either Seb or Noah 😂

Tiff
Bug
Toady
Vicky

All achingly cool. All extremely unkind.

Lots as it was a massive school, the first ones that come to mind are:
Miranda
Fiona
Tess
Larissa
Josie

Jamclag · 01/05/2026 18:23

1980's state comp:
Kelly
Tara
Collette
Samantha

Every other girl seemed to be a Sarah, Claire or Nicola - the ubiquity adding to our general perceived lameness...

Secondary in the 90s: Claire, Gemma, Kelly, Danielle, Amy, Keira, Vicky

Didnt have a popular group.

Or maybe I just didn't recognise them.

But font think there was a specific group of popular girls.

Just randomly groups of girls. Each in their own friendship group

Well the bully girls were Shaz and Kaz. Im
Unsure if they were ‘popular’. I don’t think anyone actually liked them but they were very powerful. Heard years later one was a social worker, one a police officer!! Sadly wasn’t surprised but horrified that such nasty individuals would have power over vulnerable people

ImImmortalNowBabyDoll · 01/05/2026 17:46

Hannah, Sophie, Laura, Danielle, Alex and Kat. Alex and Sophie were nice girls. The others, not so much. But then, there were less popular girls who were also horrible.

TommorrowsToday · 01/05/2026 17:39

My school: Sarah, Vicky, Kirsty, Gemma.

DD's school: Isla, Matilda, Evelina, Aurora.
