There are so so many lovely names to choose from, why do so many choose such popular names....!?

DS is in Y5. The most popular names are Oliver and William.

DD is in Y7. The most popular name is Georgia.

More generally, the children I know suggest the following names are popular:
Amelia/Emilia or variants thereof (Amy, Millie, Mia) for a girl
Thomas, Samuel or Alexander for a boy

BackforGood · 29/11/2015 20:24

1996 was full of Jacks Daniels and Joshuas with Lauren and Emily for the girls

SellFridges · 29/11/2015 20:22

Reception - lots of variations of Lily, Evie and Isabel. Boys seem to be more varied but there are three Ethan's I think.

mumsnit · 29/11/2015 20:18

Small primary - lots of Charlie's, Henry's and George's (quite traditional here I guess!)

Most popular amongst the babies I know are Theo, Grace and Austin
