My 2 eldest Children have current 'popular' names but I've only come across 1 other child with each of the same names, my youngest has an increasingly 'popular' name. .but only know of 1 other child...slightly older, with that name

Every boy I meet these days seems to be called Alfie.
And they're all really badly behaved if they're not longer a baby.
All girls seem to be a combination of
Ellie/Ella/Evie/Eva/Lily/Lillie-May/Mai/Mae

Also lots of Scarlets,

charlyn · 14/05/2017 22:33

In our area its Sophie, Chloe, Lola, Lyla, Scarlett and Evie for girls.
Joshua, Oscar, George, Charlie, and Noah for boys

EmmaWoodlouse · 14/05/2017 22:12

I work in a primary school, and I think the most popular names there at the moment are Olivia and Lily for girls, and Oliver and Alex for boys (one of the Alexes is actually short for a slightly different, eastern European version of Alexander though). Also quite a few Jayden/Jadens and Lexi(e)s and variations of Keira.

ACatCalledFang · 14/05/2017 21:20

London here. For boys, we meet a lot of Oscars in the playground and have come across at least three babies called Arlo in the last two years (never heard of it before then).

Girls: I've met two babies called Orla this year. Alice seems very popular at the moment too, both as a first and middle name.

Lina/Lena, Mia, Sophia

Felix, Noah, Alex

Lots of Sophie/Sophia's, 3 Alfie's, other than that there are no doubles in dd's year (year1) and reception.

Dd is an Amelia, and the only one in her school, although there is an Emilia in year 4.

In my local area there seem to be more Scottish names - don't think there's an Amelia in the whole school. George not popular either. Here it's:

Girls: Katie, Sophie, Isla
Boys: Jamie, Lewis, Callum

All I know is that it's getting very confusing in our current Reception year as most of the girls are called Eva, Ava or Evie which sound very similar!

The really popular boys names here are Charlie, Henry and Theo.
