When I was at school everyone was Emma, Rachel, Rebecca and a few variants of Katy thrown in. Also quite a few Hollies which is odd. I was born in the 1990s.

I'm not from uk but based on various friends and colleagues my age it would be Claire and Katie, Chris and Ben.

Also seems like most English girls were given Louise as a middle name.
