Odd question I know but this stems from a discussion/debate I'm having with a friend.

Richard (four in my form!)
John (three in my form)
Ian
Lee
Rob (again, loads)
David
Ben (I can think of about eight in my year)
Chris
Matt

Then the odd Phil, James, Daniel and the more random Brett, Jordan, Lewis.

I’m amazed by those who have mentioned Oliver and Thomas. Absolutely none of those in my school - those names were basically used by the Richard’s, John’s and Ben’s to name their kids.

I’m amazed by the Caleb!

I forgot about Graeme/Graham and Martin - there were quite a few of both of those.

The boys names that stood out as unusual in my year group included names seen as 'old man' names: Ronald, Roy, and Francis (known as Frank).
