My Sam is one of only 2 in a school of 180. Other than that, we only know one other. I wouldn't say it's common at all. There are certainly more common names that are repeated several times in his class.

Really? Maybe an area thing? My son is the only Sam in a school of 350! How funny!

All the old "disciple" names are pretty much unused in my DCs school. So that would be names like Mark, Luke, John, Simon, Peter.

Flynn
Rufus

These are names I want for DC2, but DH has vetoed. I especially like Flynn at the moment, but it wouldn't work with our surname either.
