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

Also Rueben seems to be the most common boys name.

@SarahAndQuack Eva Lily-Mae made me laugh out loud!! 🤣 what a handful of a name! Do people call her Elm for short?

RewildingAmbridge · 14/10/2022 21:40

Every second girl at DNs school is called Bella - Isabella, Isabelle, Isobel, or Belle all known as Bella. I went to her sports day in the summer and one call for Bella resulted in half the year turning round

This is fascinating! At my DD's school the 'multiples' I know of are:

  • Alice
  • Finnley
  • Sophie/Sophia
  • Florence
  • Isaac

I'm sure there are a few more that I've forgotten. I had to laugh reading the thread though - I know a little girl who is Eva Lily-Mae. Sounds as if she won the jackpot!

mamaduckbone · 14/10/2022 21:39

Oliver and Harry for boys; Sophie and Grace for girls.
Dc are teens though.

liveforsummer · 14/10/2022 21:39

All the E names - Emily, Ellie, Ella, Emma, Erin, also as above Ruby. Boys are Ethan, Aiden, Alex apart from that it's very varied. I'm in the infant end of a primary school so have lots of the 'unique' names which became fashionable a few years back with odd spellings and hyphenated with Rae, Mae etc plus it's a diverse area so a variety of names from different cultures so probably not as much repetition than in other areas

RewildingAmbridge · 14/10/2022 21:38

There are two Noahs at nursery and we seem to know half a dozen Charlies aged between 5 and 15. Also a Penelope at nursery and another at swimming.
DS told me he made a new friend today a boy called Cassius, which I thought was a nice name.
