Ben, Sam, Tom, James, Aex. I'd say 70% of the boys at school were one of those.

Girls were much more varied but we had multiples of Hannah, Kelly, Aimee, Lizzie.

Left school in 2008.

*Alex!

We had millions of Claires. Loads of them. Various Kates and Katies/Katys. Several Jameses (and associated nicknames) IIRC. Roberts. A couple of Emmas perhaps.

Born 1977. In our year of 60 girls all of these names were at least duplicated: Emma, Sarah, Claire, Kate, Victoria, Jo, Helen, Caroline, Stephanie, Jenny, Louise.

Boys were all Dave, Tom, Mark, Chris, Tim, James etc.

I think the pool of names used now is much bigger. DS1 is Alexander. There are only 2 of them in the whole school (single form entry primary) and I think of his name as relatively popular. Mind you there are quite a lot of Jake, Sam, Oliver, Alfie.

Hannah

Francesca
Ellie
Olivia

Ben
Sam
