Most common names in your DCs school

[FreshCop]

My daughter has 4 Sophia’s in her class alone.

Also Rueben seems to be the most common boys name.

Lots of Ava/Eva sounding names, lots of Sophia/Sophie, Ellie. Max, Riley, Reece very common round my area. Central Scotland

Harry
henry
james
theo
arlo
william
Isabelle
elle
alice
ava
and 6 x Arthur’s

Lots of variations of Amelie/Amelia/Emily/Emilia, Ava is quite common and also Jessica or Jessie

The name Nova has been popular since the 19th century as opposed to the car which has been around since roughly the 1980’s.

Just one of many lovely names no longer acceptable dues to business and companies monopolising them.

Oliver and Sophia. But also lots of names that sound similar or have the same nickname like:

Leo/Leonardo/Lia/Leila
Anna/Annabel/Anna-Marie/Annika
Emilia/Amelia/Amelie

Axl is very Scandinavian - I descend from there so am probably biased.

Keanu and Bodhi calls immediate memories of 'Point Break' an all-time favourite of mine. The origins of Bodhi are wonderful, not sure if I'd choose it, though.

My own son has a less recognisable, less common name associated with the same film - no, it is not Tyler - but I didn't realise this until rewatching it several years after his birth.

As to oft-mentioned names on this thread, I love Reuben, and am surprised to see it's so much more popular now (son is 8 and it wasn't nearly so far up the top-100 list then). I also have a soft spot for Arthur, the name of my wonderful Grandfather, but am now quite glad husband put his foot down over that one. There are a lot about!

Son's class has a number of Ruperts, Olivers and Josephs. The girls nearly all have names that are lovely but not, as far as I know, overly popular: Faith, Grace, Rosa, Evelyn.

Mila, Myla, Lyla, Layla, Amelia for girls
Leo for boys

Primary teacher:

Boys names - every variation of Oliver - I had 6 in my class last year!! This is by a country mile the most popular name in our school.

Similarly Edward - Ted/Teddy/Eddie/Eddy

Girls - Amelia/Amelie/Amy/Emily/Ellie/Lilly/Lily/Lillie/Isla (most of these with 'Rose' as a middle name...many hyphenated that we have to use in full!!! 🤦‍♀️ We are inundated with these names...they kind of blend into a sea of 'llllllll' sounding names in the register! Amelialilyemilyislaelli 🤣

Florence - we have at least 2 in every year group...there are 3 in Year 5 🤦‍♀️

It would be nice to get the occasional Jennifer or Keith, just to break up the daily 'sameness' to be honest 🤣 (I'd love a Keith to turn up on my register! 😂). Nothing at all wrong with any of the above names by the way...they are all lovely!! There's just such a lot of them...and they're all in my class, on repeat 😄

Olivia, Nevaeh and Alfie seem to be the names of half the school.

Oh and Emily! Loads of them for some reason.

I have one in reception and one in pre school. Recurring names …

Oliver
Max
Noah
Freddie
Esme
Isabella
Evie

In DS2s year (babies born 2012/2013) there's 3 Alfie's, 2 Dylan's and surprisingly 2 Opal's.

I don't know about DS1 anymore but at primary he had 3 Joshua's, 2 Harry's, 2 Oliver's, 2 Riley's and 2 Noah's (born 2010/2011).

In DS’s primary school Oliver, Harry, Jacob and Lily and Ruby for girls. I used to work there and one year we had a class where every girl’s name ended in -y or -a except one.

His high school is an all boys school but I think there are only duplicates of Oliver in his class.

George
Oscar
Samuel (loads of them)
Theo
Jack
Finlay
Oliver

Evie
Holly
Olivia
Isla
Millie

Sophia
Lily
Isla
Archie

Ava for girls, Oliver for the boys

Diverse South London secondary school, not much duplication.

Names that were popular in the early 2000s in my child's class, so Ruby, Sophia, Lily, Indigo, Amina, Aaliyah, Niamh.

Maya
Sophia
Theo
Luca
Ines

Sussex

My youngest has 5 Corey's in his class and 4 olivia's.

NW
not loads of duplicates but then again not a large school. The ones I can think of are

Max
Leo
Charlie
Jake

Lily
Ruby
Ellie/Ella
Evie
Mia
Emily - certainly feels like virtually all girls names are a mix of the letters E, M and/or L

200 odd in our school, NW, overwhelmingly white and I don’t know a single Oliver or Olivia.

3 Hollies in one class alone. Charlie among the boys (upper KS2)
Previous school it was Olivia/Isabelle and variations/Zacks of different spellings.

Shout out to all those parents punching the air when they realise none of their childrens' names have featured so far 😂

Aria there’s a few suprisingly
