I don't remember there being that many duplicates except there were two Emilys, two Daniels, a couple of Sams and a few Kate/Katy/Catherine variants.

The ones I remember were the unusual ones, like Cleo and China and Rio.

There weren't that many non British born kids in my primary school, so I guess foreign or ethnic names were less common.

Throughout school we had loads of: Matthews, Rebeccas, Ryans
We also had: Adam, Jessica, Holly, Alice, Chloe, Daniel, David, Georgina, Georgia, Samantha, Philippa, Laura, Kayleigh, Joshua, Megan, Oliver, Olivia, Thomas, Rachel, Emma, Sarah, Hannah, Lucy.

Any guesses which decade?

So I was at school in the 60's. Most prolific names for girls were Susan, Anne, Sharon, Jacqueline, Yvonne, Wendy, Carol and Pauline.

Boys were Kevin, Michael, John, Paul, Simon and Christopher.

Girls - Elizabeth, Nicola, Joanne, Lisa, Donna, Rachel, Louise, Sarah, Allison, Hazel, Keri, multiples of Katherine and Sally.

Boys - Michael, Martin, Andrew, Christopher, Henry, James, Matthew, Robin, Dominic, Adam, Ben, Jonathan, multiples of Simon and David.

We were born at the end of the 70s. None of these were all that unusual (I had the most unusual name in the class!) but Henry seemed really old-fashioned in the early 90s when we were at secondary school.
