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

Also Rueben seems to be the most common boys name.

I’m going back a few years now but 28 of us mums at one school fell pregnant in the space of one school year
all but one where girls-my mate called hers Sophie and mine was a Millie but every single other one was called Ruby
at one point,in a class of about 26 kids,half where called Ruby!
We’d moved away by then,but I heard it got very confusing for the poor teachers!
I thought I was being very unusual by calling one of mine Joshua-ten of them where born in the year after him and he was one of 6 in his year

Not sure about school but in both my sons years that 2 children have are boys (year 4) is Daniel and girls (now year 7 but in primary) was Rosie-May. I know 2 Maxs in whole school. Apart from that I don't hear any doubles.

Sophia, Lucas and oddly Sam(uel). But if you're thinking about baby names remember the youngest children at school now were obviously born 4-5 years ago and a lot can change in that time!

The majority of the ones mentioned are quite nice, inoffensive names if that makes sense 😄

I'm surprised this one is so popular, it just makes me thinking of when I lived in London.
