If that makes any sense!

Not pregnant, just nosey & sparked by the fact that I know 8 Williams under 4 years! We know quite a few children but these are the only named duplicated.

William x 8
Samuel x 3
Joshua x 3
Wilf x 3
Ethan x 2

Matilda x 3
Elizabeth x 3

My DD1 has one of these popular names but in her preschool of 80 children she is the only one. At the time I named her we didn't know of any other children with her name but it has since exploded in popularity. We couldn't know that was going to happen.

I have a name that isn't unusual at all but I NEVER meet people with it. EVER!

There is only one name I have come I across twice in all my child groups and that is Violet. Otherwise just one of everything. Seems to be unusual, but might be to do with a vey multicultural populace round my way.

Both DSis1 and DSis2 teach nursery classes, so have an appreciation of current name trends.
