Which names are repeated in your child’s class

[AutoFillUsername]

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

Ellie/Ella
Lily
George

Aled, Steffan, Rhys and Osian for boys.
Cerys and Elin for girls.
My DC are all secondary age, and we are (fairly obviously) in Wales.

I'm a secondary teacher and this year there are 3 boys called Jack in one of my year 7 classes!

My year 8 form also has 2 boys called Sam and 2 boys called Harrison.

Molly, Amelia/Miliy and Olivia. Yr 10

2x Cillian
2x Daniel
2xAoibhinn

Tilly
Oscar
Jack
Sebastian

Amelia x2 Florence x2 jack x2

Year 1...
Alice x2
Emily x2
Savannah x2
Charlie x3
Oliver x2
Jenson x2

I have a year 3 dd and repeats in her class are:

Lilia x 2
Charlotte x 2
Annabelle/Annabel x 2

Archie X2
Samuel x 2
Joshua x 2
Finley x 2

My year 1 dd is in the same class as:

Evie x 2
Molly x 2

Arthur x 3
Austin x 2

For what it's worth my dds are called Olivia and Isabella, they are the only ones in their respective year groups but it wouldn't bother me if there were others with the same name in the class.

Sophia x 2

Our DD has the same name as another child which is really annoying. Her name wasn’t even top 50 when we named her and now it’s top 10!

Y5...

2 x William
3 x Lucy
2 x Jack
2 x Harry
2 x Grace
2 x Amelia
2 x Thomas

Charlie x3 in yr 6 and Finley x2

There are 5 boys called Charlie in my DDs class!

In a y9 class I teach there are 4x Leo’s and 3x Ellie-mays

Dd’s Year 1 class and we have and Evie and an Evelyn and two Ellie’s.

My DDs have no duplicates in their class. They have top ten names and there is only one other of each name in the whole school.

I'm also a primary school teacher and can't remember the last time I taught a class with duplicate names in. It does seem to happen less frequently these days. I remember when there always seemed to be at least two Daniels in every class.

DC1:
2 x Darcey
2 X Nancy

DC2:
2 x Ava

The only repeated names in DS’s nursery cohort are William and Oliver.

I work in an infants school so 4-7yo.

Repeated names :

Clementine - probably the most popular name we have here
Sidney
Arthur
Emily

The stats are misleading because you don’t get to read about very similar names or the same names spelled differently (unless it is the name Mohammad/Muhammed written about in the right wing media). In my experience Isabelle/Isobel/Izzy/Isabella is by far the most common girls name of the latest generation and Oliver is the most common boys name. There are also millions of Sophies (Sophia/Sofia). They will just be the Claires and Sarahs of their age.

Oliver
Oscar
Isaac
Sophie
Olivia
Ella
Thomas

2 of each in a class of 32.

Dd1 is yr3 & 2 form entry the only duplicate name is Arun/Aaron x3 (pronounced the same even though i would say Aaron as air-on personally)
Poor dd2 has a top 10 name (stupidly I didn't check and had no idea) and there will definitely be at least 1 other when she starts reception next year. She hates the new apprentice child care worker at nursery sharing her name!!!

3 x Isobel (all different spellings)
2 x Niamh (different spellings)

Dd Y6, Olly, Ollie, Millie, Molly

Dd Y4 Evie, Eva, Ava, Ollie, Ollie,
