Looking at the national statisitics James is top 10 and has been for a long time, but how many do you know?

I can only think of one in ds pre school, it doesn't seem that popular around here.

I know quite a few my age and older but no little ones Smile

I have a little James Grin
There's 5 in my dcs primary.
James is off to secondary so I should imagine there's a fair few there.

Fab name Grin

Lots of little Jameses here!

What, apart from mine? Grin I can think of approx 7. Different ages though. None in my P1 class.

James is an incredibly popular name in my area.

I will just count how many I know (aged 13 to about 5 as I don't know many very small children now) - I can think of 18 off the top of my head.

It really is up there with William, Tom and Joe. All fine names but nt for you if you want "not too popular2 tbh.

My DS1 has it as a middle name. If I'd of known we were going to have DS2 I wouldn't have used it as a middle name for DS1 but a first name for DS2!

I know quite a few my age (36) but don't think there are any in my Reception boys class & only 1 in my Pre School sons class Grin
