Fuck, I didn't realise my sons name was so popular around these days - I've never even met one so thought I was onto a relatively underused winner

Lots of names ending in -y or -en so Alfie, Riley, Kaden, Hayden, Aiden etc. Lots of Noah's and Oscars, Jacks and Jamie's.

Girls wise I'm less au fait with but I hear a lot of sienna, Ava, Lily, Grace etc and of course the prerequisite bizarre double barrelling with a mae or mai thrown in for good measure.

My sons only 9 months though so real test will be nursery.

Boys are named Oliver or Harry or occasionally Alfie/Archie/Albie.

Girls are Evie, 3 different pronunciations of Eva, Ava or Emilia/Amelia.

grasspigeons · 20/06/2017 16:13

In the 9 to 10 year old group
Boys - Dylan, harry, Josh
Girls daisy, lily, isabelle

7 year old
Boys - Oscar, Jayden, finley
Girls, ruby, Holly, evie

I've been amazed how few doubles there are of names in each class. There's sometimes 2 of something but never 3 and often there are a few across the whole school but nothing like the glut of sarah, Claire, Emma etc of my era

user1487941567 · 20/06/2017 16:09

Charlie
Harry
Alfie
Ben

Mia/Mya
Amelia
Evie/Eva

As other posters have said, it's always with a drawling May/Mai as the suffix. I find popular names very dating.

SasBel · 20/06/2017 16:06

Harry
Jack
Oliver

Isabelle/a
Darcy
Sophia

Lots of 16-18 yr olds I deal with through work called Jorden's, Kieron, Dillon's, Callum, Conor, Cameron. (about 10 different spellings for each). Also Johnathan is very popular.
Girls - lots of double barrelled names with may/grace spellings. Lots of Ellie's, grace, Lilly, these seem popular among anyone under the age of 18.
Babies - out of a group of 10 babies under the age of 15months, 3 are called Thomas.
