Without naming your child , is your child's name common or uncommon?

There were only in total 9 born between 2017-2018 and 2 or less in 2019 as it wasn’t on the ONS list this year 🥳🥳🥳

DD1 - common, was the number one girls name for about 10 years

DD2 - fairly common, usually floats around the top 20

DS - uncommon, there's only been him & one other born in Scotland in the past 20 years.

Both top 100. The teen's name was not that popular when I named her, gained huge popularity and is on the way out again. Younger child's name was more common and has stuck around a few years but isn't top 10.

I don't think either has a common name, where I live I have rarely meet others called that but both seem more popular nationally. My own name is very common and wanted to avoid that.

In a population of 5.6million danes there are

494 boys/men with ds' name.
62 girls/women with dd's.

Ds is quite common in England. Dd has a classic but not very used name.

My first daughters given name is not that common (top 200), but the diminutive she goes by has been in the top 20 for over a decade and for a while was top 10. It's one of the ones which people often cite when giving examples of popular names.

My second daughters name is rising in popularity in England and Wales but is not in the top 100 yet.

I didnt realise DD1s name was so popular, but I still would have chosen it because I love it

Just looked on the most common names for their birth year for our country and
DD 1 is number 5
DD 2 is number 25
DD 3 is number 5 .
Only dd2 has had classmates with the same name. One year she did interschool and her and the other three kids on the podium had the same name.

DD's name is common enough to be able to buy personalised items from the racks in shops but we've only met one other with the same name since she's been born.

One is a common traditional boys name. It's not in fashion at the moment though so isn't everywhere.

Other is quite common in Wales, not so in England

Fairly common (in the top 100) although but yet to meet another in person with his name

Actually one teacher nicked dd2 name for her own baby which I guess is a compliment 😁

Both uncommon but becoming more common as they are discovered as we ahead of the curve 😁. Both names only ones at large primary and some comments on the names from teachers (along lines of ooh lovely never taught an x before) but notice the odd other one starting primary as my youngest leaves...

Ds- common
Ds2- common
Ds3- first name common second name uncommon. He has two names because I worried about him disliking his uncommon name.

All three have shortened versions of classic names, but not hugely common.

Reasonably common I guess - bottom half of top 100, been going up a few places a year since I chose it 6 years ago. Haven’t met another child with his name yet.

Very uncommon. Less than 20 born each year.

So uncommon it didn’t get an exact number In the stats for his birth year — it may have been just him. I think 12 babies were called it in 2018.

No not really.

Saying that, dd went to one school for 3 years and never met another child with the same name.

Went to the local village school, and not only is there someone with the same name, but she’s in the same class!

Ds has the same name as my cousin, but we never see him. Not met another child with his name yet.

Both are not unknown, but obviously aren’t that popular

Both my boys are now adults.

DS1 has a very uncommon name, it's never been on the top100 since he was born and I've only once come across another one in real life.

DS2 has a name which is uncommon but which has sometimes made it into the top 100, although not in the year he was born and not recently either.

I have a name which was incredibly popular in the late 60s/early 70s and in secondary school there were 3 if us with that name in my class. I hated it which is why we went for more uncommon names for our DC.

When I was pregnant with ds2 one of my favourite names was Noah. My mother who was a primary school head at the time said that he would get teased because it was such an old fashioned name, so I ruled it out. 20 years later and it is one of the most popular boys names in the UK.

DD has a common name, DS not common. I picked them because I like them, I don't care if they're popular or not.

It's in the 60s of the top 100.

I thought my youngest sons name was uncommon until a film star made it famous three years later. Now there are loads about.
My dd name fairly uncommon but I do know of one other 10 years younger than her.
My eldest son has a traditional name.

Uncommon when born but DC is in his early twenties and it’s becoming increasingly popular unfortunately. Not a lot you can do about that. I’ll be surprised if it becomes really common though.

Do you mean common or popular?

All 3 uncommon. Especially when added with their middle names. People don't get it.. and then they get to know me and it all makes sense
