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?

My DD has 2 x Lily, 2 x Isla and 2 x Matilda in her year.

I know two Florence and two Maya and two Orla under 3 years old

I always find this a funny concept. Basically saying we are going to choose names that are unpopular and no one really likes 😂

Should add my name wouldn't even register in the top 500 and the DC are all in the top 50!

Unpopular isn't the same as not being liked.

When we were thinking of a name for DD we missed potential names that we liked because there are thousands of names. (Her name is not in the top 100.)

Though I did spend time telling my DP she was definitely not being named after a Disney princess.

@Simianwalk , I always find this a funny concept. Basically saying we are going to choose names that are unpopular and no one really likes

Not really, I can think of lots of names that I like but wouldn't use. Ones that are too long, or that don't go with the surname, might be culturally inappropriate, or might not travel well, might be too closely associated with someone, or might have more than one spelling/pronunciation.

My daughter is at nursery, and around that kind of age:

Isla
Ava
Florence
Mia
Isabella

Freddie
Arthur
Max
Finley
Felix
Oscar

Evelyn
Isla
Isabelle/Isabella
Grace/Gracie
Lola
Florence

Archie
Jack
Charlie
Freddie
Noah
Jude
Sebastian/Seb

I'm in Finland and most popular names (in order) are:

Girls:

Olivia
Ella
Isla
Alma
Emma
Pihla
Vivian

Boys:

Oliver
Emil
Leo
Lucas
Toivo
Eino
Elias

I'm older than most but I chose a name that wasn't top 100 when DC1 was born...Oliver.

My dd is preschool age but the names we’ve met more than one of are;

Isla
Amelia
Erin
Margot
Poppy
Elsie
Freya
Evelyn

Freya
Isla
Amelia
Betsy
Harper
Eve/Evie/Evelyn
Isabelle and all the variations
Libby
Elsie
Lilly

Oliver
Oscar
Arthur
Jenson

Im a teacher and these are the most popular names at our primary school.

Loads saying Evie on here.

My daughter is almost 2 and I really really wanted to call her Eve nn Evie but I kept seeing them springing up everywhere including a close friend, plus another close friend with an Ivy. It was getting silly how many we knew 😂so we went with another name on our list.

Anyway now she is at nursery and there are two Evie’s just in the under 2s room with her so I’m glad we didn’t use it, as lovely as it is!!

In reception we have multiples of Joshua, Charlie (one is Charles on bc), Reuben, Florence and Violet

Mia
Harry
Thomas
Oliver
Amelia
Emily
Ella
Louis
Leo

Also Freddie, Oscar, Izzy/Isabella/Bella/Isabelle, Daisy

Isla. Loads of them identified by surname initial.

"No not Isla A mum, Isla B"

We have Ella x 2, Skye x 2, and Elsie x 2.

We have a Cleo and thought it was fairly unusual (I’ve never met one - well a human one before!) then one day pushing her in the swing in our little village park, the dad next to me was pushing his baby girl - Cleo! They’ll probably end up being in the same year group when they go to school, I was pretty shocked tbh! We both found it funny.

OP, names I encounter the most (have a 3 and 5 year old) are Isla, Ava, Evie, Grace, Olivia, Esme, Aurora, Theo, Teddy, Sam, Leo, Joey, Jackson, Felix, Zachary, Alfie, Jude.

Multiples of:
Isabelle/Isabella
Phoebe
Amy
Scarlett
Amelia

My dd is at secondary school and they seem to have put the form classes together with kids that have the same names. For example there are are x2 of:
Mia
Honey
Molly
Milly
Willow
Ollie
William
Harry
Luca (and Luka so 3)
Really odd way of doing it! Having multiples in each class!

Teacher here…in my nursery, I’m currently teaching multiple:
Lily (Lillie, Lilly, Lili)
Isla
Amelia

In the best of the school there are loads of
Lily
Amelia
Poppy
Amelie
