In my experience, the same sort of names as anybody else.

Tarquin, Hugh and Rupert.
In reality the private school friends I have are actually called Mark, Aidrian , Eve and Isabelle etc.

I've never given it a thought.

Off the top of my head I would think fairly ordinary, classic names: Jeremy, Joseph, Jonathan, David - Sarah, Louise, Rachel, Charlotte - that sort of thing.

I was privately educated up to age eleven as were my children and nobody had unusual names.

Classic names like Charlotte, James etc.
Cressida and Roger did come to mind though. Jilly?

Normal names in my school.

Sarah
Alex
Claire
Jo
Robert
Will
Richard
James

Maybe look at the Telegraph birth announcements for inspiration as I imagine that’s the demographic announcements.telegraph.co.uk/births/announcements

I went to school in the 80s, names were mostly very dull. Shakespearean names were definitely popular at my school though - Portia, Perdita, Hermione etc.

Nothing very modern. Biblical names or long standing popular choices.

From DD's old schools a huge mix of names:

Sophie
Emma
Ellie
Ursula
Mollie
Olivia
Hannah
Anna
Ella
Katy
Liberty
Freya
Florence
Francesca
Ayesha
Rama
Dora
Erica
Haleema
Phoebe
Beatrice
Bella
Grace
Isla
Clementine
Zara

So, not much difference to the state school I teach at. Both schools have a mix of children from a range of backgrounds, ethnicities, etc.
