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

There are 3 classes in each of dd years at school
Dd1 is Ellie there are 5 in her year
(2 in her class also 2 Jamie's and 2 Williams)

Dd2 has a unusual name (after lumbering dd1 with the equivalent of a Sharon/tracey name from the 70's) there are 4 girls in her class with unique unusual names I think they put them together for that reason lol but
She has 3 Finley /Finn in her class (there are also Finns in other classes in her year)
Isabel and it's variants
Daisy/Millie/Evie
Joshua's /Daniel and Jacob feature a lot too

Are these all because of name trends and will probably change again over the course of the next 2/3 years?

Pleased to see that out of 5 children here, none of their names are appearing Smile

Isobel. 4967040675373 at last count and that's just in DD1's primary school.

Yama · 18/01/2014 21:07

You guys know a lot of children.

There are two Jamie's in dd's class. That's it.

I think there may be two Lucy's in ds's nursery class but I can't be sure.

I pride myself in taking notice generally but can't compete here clearly.

Keeping it to under 5's;

Charlotte x 3
Poppy x 2 (one is mine)

William x lots

I'm trying to think of the toddlers at DD's groups but, actually, there is only one of every other name!

FightingOverImaginaryIcecream · 18/01/2014 21:02

I've lost count of actual numbers as I have gone to many playgroups in the last 5 years but the most frequent names round here are:
Evie/Evelyn (known as Evie)
Isabel/Isobel/Isabelle (think this is more popular than official name stats suggest due to variant spelling).
Lily
Isla
Niamh/Neeve
Mia

Jacob (last 3 baby boys I know were called this)
Finley/Finlay/Finnley
Ibrahim
Harry
Oliver
Josh
