There are 4 Ben's in a class of 24, also a few harry's, Hannah's and Sophie's

We have shedloads of Jacks, Harrys, Emilys and Isobels/Isabelles/variations of the theme.

Takver · 29/04/2011 19:51

Fairly small school - the multiples I can think of are:
Rhys
Catrin (including 2 x Rhys/Catrin sibling sets)
Finn
Jac
Grace (at least 3)
Megan

At one point dd's year (16 children) included Ellie, Ella, Eleanor and Elizabeth amongst the 8 girls

DontCallMeBaby · 29/04/2011 19:42

DD is Yr2, two form entry:

2 x Emily
3 x Harry
2 x James
2 William
2 x Anna
2 x Annabel

Those are the straight duplicates; there four other near-duplicates.

DD has a name which is classic but unusual for her age - shares it with two of the mums in her year, poor sausage - yet shares it with a little girl in Yr R who lives almost opposite us.

In DS's year 2 there are more than one

Harry
James
Isobel

In DD's. Reception class there are

3 Thomases (all known as Thomas)

Think that's it for repeated names. Am sure there are more in the whole school of course.

DT's are only in Nursery, but these are the duplicates I know of:

George

6 x Isabella/Isobel/Isabelle variants
4 x Eve/Eva/Evie variant
3 x Maryam
2 x Amelia (and an Amelie), 2 x Alice, 2 x Esme; a Mia, a Mya and a Maya!

Boys - there are multiple Thomas, Jake/Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, Oscar and Max

strandednomore · 29/04/2011 14:25

Toby
Matthew
James
William
Emma
Annabel
That's all I can think of for now.
That is a combination from dd1 (reception) and dd2 (preschool)

tammytoby · 29/04/2011 14:24

Just look at the top 25 or so names and you'll find the most popular names. So names like Oliver, Jack, Finley, Sam, Archie, Ellie, Evie are likely to come in duplicates in most classes.

mejon · 29/04/2011 14:21

None. There are 43 pupils in DD1's school! When DD2 starts there'll be 2 of them with the same name in the same class though in different years.
