Sorry if this post has already been done but I'm interested to know which names are most common in your child's class and what year they are in.
My LG is in year 1 and the most common girls name is Ruby and the most common boys names are Jack and Oliver.

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

Two Tianas and there is also a Tiara in another class.
That's it - very multiethnic school so not much duplication of names, but lots of interesting ones.

My DS is finished school now but Hugo, Casper, Bertie and Thriston were all very popular.His school was all boys.

stickybear · 13/10/2023 12:58

Lots of Jacobs, Finleys, Leos and Theos around here. Isla, Eva/Evie, Mia and Millie for the girls

Year 3 dd doesn't have any repeats in her class though there are two Natalia's in the year group.

Reception age dd has 3 Julia's in her year group, 2 Sienna's and 2 Dominiks

There are very few top 20 names in either of their year groups. Two form entry.

This is a relief — I was incredulous at how homogeneously white everyone’s sounded (which, in fairness, explains a lot about the baby names board).

DS’s class now has no duplicates, which is hardly surprising as his class has Irish, Nigerian, Croat, Polish, Rwandan, Spanish, Finnish, English, Canadian and Ukrainian children. At his old village school there were two Imogens, two Alices and two Harrisons in his class.

Show quote history

My son is one of only 4 white British boys in his class (the other three all being Leo's!) - the remainder of the 17 boys are all either non-white British or from other countries. Just none of then have overlapping names Grin

Lexi and Hattie for girls
Jacob, Harry and Henry for boys

Two boys called Hamza and two called Leo. There is also a Nora and a Noura but they are pronounced slightly differently.

DelphiniumBlue · 12/10/2023 23:00

My Dc are grown up, but I teach in KS2 ,and there is a Lukas/Lucas/Luca in every class, also plenty of boys called Jack, Freddie and Sam. For girls, lots of Ava/Eva/Evie/Ivy, quite a few Amelias, and Ruby and Iris in most classes. I suspect Ruby may have peaked, I know a few who are now in their 20s.
But that's older primary children, there might be different trends for younger children.

clipclop5 · 12/10/2023 23:00

In DD’s year group there were 7 girls called Ella! Lots of Olivias as well. Boys wise Jack seemed to be the most common
