there are 900 children in their school I imagine that most names have been used more than once!

fruitshootsandheaves · 28/04/2011 23:51

apart from Ermintrude...I don't suppose there are many of them.

In DD's class out of 14 boys there are 4 Jacks and 3 Thomas/Tom! Thank goodness we chose Rupert for our DS Wink

PiousPrat · 28/04/2011 23:59

There are 35 boys in DS2's year. Of that there are 4 Sams, 3 Harrys, and 3 Williams. I don't think any of the girls names are duplicated, although there are 2 Jordans, one of either sex.

Well there are about 550 kids in the infants and juniors combined. Plus I work in another school.

Names that I hear a lot - either at my DCs school or mine...

Finley

Charlie - this is the most popular I think
Freddie
Tyler
Taylor
Jamie
Thomas
Jake
James
Sam/Samuel

Sophie
Amelia
Lily
Holly
Esme
Charlie
Lucy
Olivia

None. There are 43 pupils in DD1's school! When DD2 starts there'll be 2 of them with the same name in the same class though in different years.

tammytoby · 29/04/2011 14:24

Just look at the top 25 or so names and you'll find the most popular names. So names like Oliver, Jack, Finley, Sam, Archie, Ellie, Evie are likely to come in duplicates in most classes.

strandednomore · 29/04/2011 14:25

Toby
Matthew
James
William
Emma
Annabel
That's all I can think of for now.
That is a combination from dd1 (reception) and dd2 (preschool)

4 x Eve/Eva/Evie variant
