Isabella, Mia

mumsnit · 29/11/2015 20:18

Small primary - lots of Charlie's, Henry's and George's (quite traditional here I guess!)

For girls it is Ella, Evie and Sophie

Most popular amongst the babies I know are Theo, Grace and Austin

SellFridges · 29/11/2015 20:22

Reception - lots of variations of Lily, Evie and Isabel. Boys seem to be more varied but there are three Ethan's I think.

1996 was full of Jacks Daniels and Joshuas with Lauren and Emily for the girls

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 29/11/2015 20:34

DS is in Y5. The most popular names are Oliver and William.

DD is in Y7. The most popular name is Georgia.

More generally, the children I know suggest the following names are popular:
Amelia/Emilia or variants thereof (Amy, Millie, Mia) for a girl
Thomas, Samuel or Alexander for a boy
