My daughter has 4 Sophia’s in her class alone.

Also Rueben seems to be the most common boys name.

Isabella and poppy (small girls school, those are the only doubles I think).

at one point 4 members of staff (out of 15 or so) had a daughter called Isabella - ages ranging from 21 to 1!!

Fred Arthur Oscar Bertie (various Alberts, Ruperts but all Bertie) Casper and River for Boys

Seren Wren Willow Sophie Charlotte Rosie and endless variations of Elizabeth (Bessie, Libby, Betsy, Eliza, no Liz or Lizzies though) for girls.

I’ve never heard a Bertie being a nickname for Rupert? Is that common now, I can’t see how it’s a shortening? I like Bertie, but hate Albert!

There was a short phase of lots of Nova and Luna’s.

I feel like Nova has dated really badly now.
