The most children with the same name in the same class

[Theoistfit]

Everyone seems to worry about popularity, so what name have you known the most of in the same class?

Growing up I had six (!) Daniels in my class, so over a third of the boys. There were two in the adjacent class too.

I've also known two separate classes with three Isabelles each who were all Izzy.
Three Jacks.
Three Freyas too which is odd as it's not that popular.

In my last year in primary school there were 2 Kelly, 3 Claire and 2 Sarah's.
In my sister's year there were 2 Rachel's, 3 Emma's, 2 Anne's and 2 Rebecca's.

In primary school (in the 90's) I had 3 boys called Sam and 3 boys Jason in my class. The girls names were more varied though.

Not a school class, but one of the DC were in a sports team with around six Edwards. The coach made them all go by different variants of the name to avoid confusion!

I teach 12 Mohammeds this term. I teach PE, so not all in the same class, but there are tons.

My dd"s teacher told me the class that had just moved up from her had 6 Olivias this was some time ago so they would be 17/18 now.

My dd's current year (15/16 year olds) of 150 - so about 75 girls - has tons of Graces, I'm not even sure how many but on the low end it is 8, I have heard rumours there are 15 of them. Some call themselves Gracie and one now goes by Grey as she is sick of being lost in the crowd.

And dd's second name is Grace!

Catholic school, I had 5 Michaels, 3 Daniels and 3 Davids in my class.

Girls were a bit more varied, but I think Jessica/Jennifer was pretty common across the board.

Out of DC's friends, I'd say Olivia, Ava, Theo, Max are the most common.

There are about 200 children at my kids school, but there aren't any more than maybe two children with the same name. A couple of Noahs, Olivias, Amys and Adams. But no name that has five or six children sharing it.

In my year of 150 at school (1990s) there were three or four Davids, Catherines and Richards. And a few that had two people with the same name, such as Denise, Carol, Julie or Paul. But there was no one overwhelmingly popular name.

Late 70s, five girls out of 12 in my class were called Tracy.

From school in the 80s/90s there was only one jessica. A lot of Laura's !
My kids have a lot of Avas and Sienna's at their school

In the late 60s early 70s at my girls' grammar we had 6 Susans in my class of 30. In the 90s my DD had 6 Jessicas in her class of 24.

Our neighbours are called John and Jean, John and Jane and John and Joan.

Lily's William's

Three Eves in Dd1's class.

Four Helens in my class at school.

There is a generation of men in my workplace (Scotland) who are all called Ian or Iain. They are all late 50s/early 60s and work in finance or audit. I went to a meeting where every man at the table was called Ian

In my nursery we have had multiples of
Henry
Isabelle/a
Sam
Arabella
Harry
Jack

I teach 6 Sam's in one group.
Some of them have the same initial for surname too.

Claire and Sarah were the popular names when I was at school. As an adult, I know about a million Emmas!
My kids have not had many repetitions at school, the max number has been two but for Diego and Harrison!

Actually we had a lot of Lisa's in my secondary school year

3 girls called Anna

When I was at school there were lots of:

Katie/Katy/Kate
Lauren/Laura
Kelly/Kelly Anne
Victoria

And almost every middle name was Louise 😂

There are 5 Rubys in the reception class at DDs school. This is out of 14 girls.

There a 3 Ivy's in the baby room at DD's nursery!

There are 5 Matthews in my nephew's class

There were 5 Emmas and 3 Lisas in one of my classes at (all-girls) secondary school. Sarah, Amy and Cheryl were also popular.

In DS (13) year there are multiple Lucys, Camerons and Andrews.
