What are the most popular names you know

[Mummamayhem]

What names do you personally know that are most popular?

Boy: I know 4 Oscar's
Girl: I know 3 Emily's

Ava's. They're everywhere.

Coming up on the rails: Ella.

For boys it's Harry and Oscar.

Unsurprisingly I've seen my dd's name mentioned on here quite a lot! We knew it was popular but liked it anyway, although we don't personally know anyone with the same name.

Girls: Jessica, Lily, Amelia, Indie
Boys: Alfie, Noah, Jake, Oliver

My dd is 12 so of her age group I know lots of Ellie's, Elena's, grace and Hannah's and a few years younger a lot of Evie's.
I am yet to meet an Ava.
As for boys I know a few Harry's and Oliver's.

Girls: Amelia, Eva, Ava

Boys: Harry, Jack, Finley/Finlay (shortened to Finn, but the popularity of 'true' Finns is low)

'There are 24 girls called Lily in my son's secondary school year. shock'

Wow! How many kids in the year?

Everyone I know seems to have a Sophie. Loads of Isabelles too.

Mitzy There are 109 children in the year.

My eldest children are 14 and my youngest is 2. All of the below names are about in their multiples, and still going strong in my toddler's nursery:

Girls: Ella, Ellie, Lily, Millie, Tilly, Evie, Isla, Grace, Poppy, Daisy, Maisie, Olivia, Holly, Molly

Boys: George, Harry, Jake, Oscar, Billy, Isaac, Bailey, Jayden, Rhys, Riley, Alfie, Archie

Oliver and Joshua seem really popular around here. There are several of both at play group with ds (aged 2). I know a couple of Oscars too.

Also Freya, Ella, Sophie but not quite to the extent of the Joshua/Olivers.

We knew 7 Olivers at primary and 6 different forms of Isabelles. Happens to every generation though I imagine, I think my primary school was populated entirely by Garys, Bretts, Darrens and Lisas

That's astonishing keira! So almost 25% of the year (and a massive chunk of all girls in the year) is called Lily. That must cause many mix ups and lengthy conversations about exactly which Lily is being discussed.

It is isn't it Mitzy? I wonder how they dispersed them acrosss the form groups and if it was a deliberate tactic? There are 5 in my son's form.
