At your school, what were the 3 most popular girls called?

And, if applicable, what are the 3 most popular girls at your dc' school called?

At my school it was Alexandra (Alex), Natalie, and Christine.

At my dc's school it's Natalie, Jessica and Sophia

Light hearted nonsense to while away a not so happy day.

For me it was Hélène, Sabine and Katia. They were mostly awful.
I have four dc but I’ll go with the youngest. The ‘popular girls’ were Saffron, Kitty and Eden.

Lisa, Nikki and Sarah

Tracey
Helena
I'm retrospect I have no idea why they were so popular. They all had orange faces, reeked of fags and impulse and had the collective iq of a teapot.

NormasArse · 01/05/2026 18:56

I have often thought about this “popular girl” thing. I have no idea who they were at my school. Someone suggested this would be because I was one of them, but if I were, shouldn’t I have known?
