Usually I seem to only hear Joshua/William/Theo and I have recently noticed lots of Roman's and Harper's.
Today I heard Ernest, Primrose and Inca!
What names do you hear shouted most often in the playground, and what are the most unusual names you have heard while there?

Everyone around here seems to be called Ronnie, Bobby, Stanley or Olivia, Evie and Sophia.

I did hear a Cosmo once. But I live in a small county town, would expect it's different in West London for example

Not necessarily in the playground but out and about I'm hearing lots of
Ella's Freya's Isla's Olivia's. Iris. Ruby's. Gabriel's Lucas. Hugo. Jayden. Max. I've yet to go without hearing Charlie and I'm hearing April quite a lot too. Which to me is odd as I don't think its ever been in the top 100, unless its the same kid.Grin
