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

Also Rueben seems to be the most common boys name.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Names which 3 or more children have (I work there so have access to all the names!):

Charlie
Marcel
Aidan
Alfie
Alex

Jasmine
Julia
Lena
Mia (and a Maia, Miyah and Miya, all pronounced M-igh-uh, rather than the Mia's who are all pronounced m-ee-uh)
Zuzanna
Amelia
Sienna
Maria
Sofia (all 5 spelt like that - we used to have two Sophias as well)

I only have one set of duplicates in my class this year, but was previous in a class with 2x Anna, 2x David and 2x Olivia. And another year I had a Nicole, a Nicola and a Nicky. Not to mention Nina, Melina and Katerina!

3 DCs in primary, most popular names are:

Sophia/Sofia/Sofie
Emily
Olivia
Lilly
Amelia
Layla
Violet

Sam/Samual
Zac/Zachary
Brody though I think different spellings

There are more boys than girls in the school but not as many boy name groupings, Zachary & Samuel definitely the most popular, might be because it’s a catholic school, most of the Zacs & Sams come from regular church going families.

Trinity65 · 14/10/2022 20:45

Oh sorry OP I misread the post

There were 2 Jayden's there though , 2 Oliver's, 3 Mollies/Molly and 2 Lacey's

Dragonred · 14/10/2022 20:45

Duplicates in DC’s year are I think Oliver & Frankie. Not sure about in the school but I think a few Oliver/Olivia’s.

SuperlativeOxymoron · 14/10/2022 20:35

Although it's not in the top 100 anymore, there are 15 Amy's at the school I work at. Considering it's a 1 form entry primary, that's a good proportion of the school population

InTheFourthAtMalloryTowers · 14/10/2022 20:34

I am a Sophie and born in the early 70s.
i spent my entire childhood hearing « what an unusual / old-fashioned name ».
