Boys names popular at nursery atm

[babybean19]

All you parents/teachers out there...

Tell me what are the popular boys names in nursery and reception class atm? Is there a few of the same you notice?

Want to avoid a popular name for our little boy ❤️

I've lost count of all the oscars and Harrys

Also Arthur

we chose unusual names for all our kids and then one of our godparents used the same....so there are no guarantees. best to go with ones you love

Alfie, Albie, Leo, Max, Oscar, Harry/Harrison, Ollie

@dreamingofsun I think that's what we will have to do as we finally have a name we both like, and turns out it's much more popular than I thought...but only one we agree on!

The name I really want is very unusual but he changed his mind on it after 18months of that being 'THE' name....he may change it back once we see babe I guess.

Choosing a name is so hard!

Arthur, Arlo, Oscar, Harry, Leo and Ezra - all v popular in east London. Oh and Wilf!

Most popular in reception and pre-school are
Leo
Euan
Max
Sebastian

My dd’s nursery has duplicates of Maisie, Arjan, Caleb and Imogen. Dd2 has a top ten name and I have never met another one, dd1 has a name that normally hovers between 60-80 on 100 top names and there are three in her class of 28! Name your child what you love!

You need to check ONS lists rather than just lists you google. The baby centre ones aren't official for e.g. Dark Greener names is an online tool that lets you check a name from 1996-the latest releases name data (so the year before, new data is usually released August-September). Names like Arlo, Ezra, Harper, Violet, are very popular names that parents tend to think are unusual because they were just 5 years ago and have risen dramatically.
