I'm not one of the people you are addressing there, but when I type Noahs on my phone it autocorrects to Noah's. That might be why people do it. Over and out Grin.

Sorry slightly off topic but can everyone who is putting apostrophes in plurals stop it, it's wrong!
You mean Claras, Noahs, and Jameses (for example) not Clara's, Noah's and James's (or even worse, James').
I thank you. Over and out!

My pool of children is mostly girls aged 7-14

Isabel/Isabelle/Isabella

CricketRuntAndRashers · 13/05/2017 18:03

well, what age group...?

For adult women it's certainly Leonie, Sophie, Claudia, Anya/Anja, Salome, Raphaela, Flora and Leandra. Men... Well, Sebastian, Stephan, Thomas, Francesco, Bruno, Peter. (Not all of those are from the UK. Shoot... But I'm too lazy to go back and correct it).

Anyhow, for children:
Clementine, Florence, Eva/Avae etc, Sophie, Amelia, Isla.
Henry, George, Sebastian, Gabriel, Thomas, Oliver, Poppy...

Vanillaradio · 13/05/2017 10:23

For girl's ds's age (3) it is Olivia by miles. One or more in every baby or toddler group and at nursery.
Boys his age probably come across Jacob and Max the most.
Babies I would say Ava and Isla for girls, boys Noah and George.

howthelightgetsin · 13/05/2017 09:21

There is an Amelia in every single baby group I've been to.

I work in an infant school so just under 300 children aged 4-7.

We don't really have that many duplicates overall which surprises me.

Of the most popular (and I'm talking of maybe 2-4 children with the same name across school):

Girls: Emma, Clementine, Evie, Amelia,

Boys: Toby, Ben, Isaac,

MarcelineQueen · 13/05/2017 08:05

Oh and also Scarlett, I even think they all have the same middle name if Rose
