Want to avoid a popular name for our little boy ❤️

I have 2 boys with a top 10 name but I never encountered any others with the same name. Other 2 have top 30 names and also never encountered another.

My 4 year old has 3 Adams in his class and I wouldn't have thought that was a poplar name.

Jumping on this thread to ask, how do people know the popular names in their area as opposed to nationally? I have googled and can’t find anything. Sorry to high jack

The only boy duplicates in ours is Oliver.

The duplicates in our reception class are Charlie and Tommy.

Leo, Archie, Oliver, lucas, Luke, and Reilly are the duplicated names in the nursery my youngest attends.

You can pick a statistically unusual name and still have 2 in a class - names sometimes "trend" in areas while remaining fairly unusual statistically.

DS1's name didn't make the top 100 list the year he was born and is now number 36 where we live, but there's another one in his class. Ds2's name is number 11 where we live but we have never met another child with the name locally of any age and there isn't one at his school or as far as the older kids are aware at theirs.

"Want to avoid a popular name for our little boy"

Maybe look up the baby name rankings for the last few years? Could be statistically more significant than a random sample of mumsnetters?

Just a thought.

My sons in reception and there are a few Oliver's Daniel's and Alex/Alexander's aswell as Oscar.
My son is bailey and have never known another one in any of his class or nursery.
My other son is Frankie and again still have yet to meet another one

I work in a nursery.
We have 3 Noels at the moment, 2 Ethans and 2 Lucas'. Thats it for duplicates.
