Which names are repeated in your child’s class

We are in London and my girls have so many repeated names in their classes. But the repeats don’t match the top 5 names for their birth year which is interesting.

Where do you live and what names double up in your child’s class?

DD is in a year 7 cohort with:
5 x Isabella
3 x Matilda/Tilly/Tilda
3 x Sophia
2x Eloise
2x Florence

DD2 is in a year 4 class of 30 with
4x Daisy
2x Zoe
2x Milly

Dd is in year 3.

There is not one duplicate in the whole class of 30!

Ds is in year 11 and there are lots of Jack's and Lewis's.
When he was in primary school there were 3 Mia's and 3 Abbie's in his class but no boys names that were the same.

He is the only Oliver in his whole school.

At one point in primary school, my DS was in a class of 30 that had 4 x Milly/Millie!

MamaOfTwoBoys · 12/10/2018 14:22

DS is in reception, there's around 27 in the class.

There are 3 x Harry and 2 x Isabelle, but no other repeats.

I do a baby group with my smallest and there's 3x Charlie in a group of 10!

we're in London as well and there are no duplicate names in DD's class (30, or nearly 30) and in her year (60) there's only one name duplicated.

lots of non-Brits and middle class parents who would no more give their child a popular name than fly in the air.

Ca55andraMortmain · 12/10/2018 15:58

Dds aren't at school yet but I'm a teacher and in my class of 27 P2s (yr 1) there are
2x Lucy
2x Blair
2x Logan

In the school I'd say the most popular names are:

Keira
Ava
Grace

Blair
Cameron
Aiden

Echobelly · 12/10/2018 16:05

DD's class - x2 Phoebes, x2 Zacharys (though one is known as Zak and the other isn't)

DS's class x2 Annabels (though spelt slightly differently), x2 Joes, although one just left!

Myusername101z · 12/10/2018 16:14

There are 4 Alfie’s in my nephews nursery , I understand if people don’t want to chose “out there” names but last year I know two people who called there babies Oliver and Olivia when they were both number one on the top names list ,why would you want your child to be one of many ?

weebarra · 12/10/2018 16:31

Lots of Hollys.
2 x Jasper
Sophie x 2
Finlay x 2
Leo x 2

Dds name is in the top 10 and she’s the only one in her class, and I’ve only seen it once on this thread. I was expecting loads!

Andtheresaw · 12/10/2018 16:45

No idea about the names in 14YO dd's class, but after 12 years as a Brown Owl I can say that for the last 11 years I have always had at least one and usually two Isobel/Isabel/Isabelle/Isobelle/Issy in the unit.
