Dd's class has 2 children called:

Emily
Nadia
Alex (boy)
Nikita (boy)
Cameron

Apart from Emily, I would have thought these names were fairly uncommon. Just curious to see which are the most popular names in your childs' school.

In DS's class the most popular names are Oliver / Ollie and Harry. No duplicate names among the girls.

Sam, Joseph, Jamie, Max, Oscar, Elliott

Sophie, Hannah, Libby, Ellie

Mia x 2
Maria x 2

That's is only duplicate out of 20

But the teacher is Kate and so is the class room assistant

Very multicultural class

Amelia/Isla/Sophia. In a year group of 38 children there are 15 girls with those 3 names.

There is less repetition amongst the boys.

BarbarianMum · 18/06/2021 21:55

Millies and Ellies- every second girl
Jack, Max, Alex and Archie for the boys - about 3 of each in each class.

Also know a few Otises

Terrazzo · 18/06/2021 18:22

And there was another Euan at the park the other day.

Terrazzo · 18/06/2021 18:21

Arthur!! Everywhere!! Although there are no duplicates in DS1’s class. I know loads of little Arthurs though and it’s DS2’s middle name.

In DS2’s nursery there are 2 Evans, a Euan and a Ewan. DS2 is one of those 😄

Millions of vowelly girls everywhere.

Adviceneeded21 · 18/06/2021 18:18

3 Mckenzie's in my sons class (I think it's an awful chavy name, each to their own tho)

detectivo · 18/06/2021 18:15

28 in the class, there are 3 Wilfreds and 3 Harrys

Howshouldibehave · 18/06/2021 18:14

I had two Erics in my class last year-I thought that was relatively unusual.

Mynextname · 18/06/2021 18:13

Girls:
Florence (this is by far the most common name in the school I think)
Isabella
Sophia
Grace

Boys:
Charlie
Issac

Not a very multi cultural school at all. Middle class area.

LadyCatStark · 18/06/2021 18:12

Oliver, Jacob, variations of Isabel/la, Harry, Jack, Thomas, variations of Eve/ Evie/ Eva/Ava. There seems to be less duplications if girls’ names than boys’ but in the year below DS all but 2 of the girls had names ending in -y, -ie or -a.

WindyScales · 18/06/2021 18:09

Isabella
Ava
Sophia/Sofia
Jack
Harry/Harrison
Archie
George

Rosesareyellow · 18/06/2021 18:01

DS has 3 friends called Charlie.
Still quite a few Emilys I think.
2 Bobbys.
And Harrys and Lilys galore of course.
All nice names though, I understand why they are popular.
