What names are popular in your child's class right now?

[triplechocbrownie]

I'm expecting a baby girl and am interested to know what names are coming up in your child's nursery or class (primary school) a lot at the moment?

The only multiple name in my DD's nursery class is Freddie.

In terms of kids aged 6ish and younger I know multiples of:
Isla
Oscar
Oliver
Noah
Felix
Seth
Ivy
Toby
Sophia
Charlotte
Theo

There are 2 James in my sons class, 1 of them mine.

I knew when I named him James that at some point he'd likely be in a class with another one. I loved the name though. It's also pretty timeless so as he grows up it won't be totally obvious when he was born.

I know loads of Felix born in the past 2 years. That will become quite dated.

In terms of girls names. Elizabeth is the ultimate timeless classic. Again you can expect that at some point there will be others with that name in the class. Later in life though it won't be clear how old they are.

I think if you aim for a name that no one else has, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

And on the flip side, my daughters name was in the 20s but it was always my favourite no 1 choice so the popularity didn't bother me... and it's turned out she's the only one in the school!

Met multiples of these so far, my kids are Y4 - pre-school ages:

Ezra
Arlo
Frank/Frankie
Enzo
Theodore

Etta
Allegra
Emilia

Year one, repeatedly heard names are :
Millie
Eliza
Olivia
Theo
Oliver
Esme
Sam

Multiples that I know of in my DDs school are Millie, Isabelle, Harper, Georgie, Ella, Gracie

I have 3 DC in school/pre school. All 3 of them have at least 1 Hugo in their class. 2 Williams in each class.

That's handy to know - we do have Camille on our list

A few on these our on my list. Can I ask whereabouts in the country you are?

Multiple Amelia/Emilia in DS’ nursery across the age rooms. There are a couple of Claras, a couple of Evelyns and a couple of Sophias as well. All very nice, classic names so I can see why really.

Surprised George isn’t on this list, my son has three in his class (him being one) they call them but their full names so they know which George!

Only 1 George in my DCS whole school! And 1 Jack.

Infinite bloody variants of Eva/Ava/Ida/Isla/Ada/Evie/Ivy etc....

A number of Tilly's (both Ottilies and Matilda's)

Every other boy appears to be called Ollie or Theo....

Ottilie
Etta
Mabel
Ivy
Nell
Olive
Sophia

Out of 90 children (3 forms) the most popular names are:

Girls
Fatima
Farah
Quinn
Aisha/Ayesha
Khadija
Amy
Aaliyah
Jade

Hello there - I'm in the US, major midwest city. Hence the Hispanic and Polish names.

@Twizbe in my area of London there are lots of boys called Felix aged 16 and under.

It's a nice name though!

@triplechocbrownie , if you look at the ONS page Baby names in England and Wales - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk), if you scroll down it gives the stats for things like name by region.
Names like Oliver and Olivia might be consistently popular through the country (or countries as it's for England & Wales), but a less popular name might be very popular in one area.
