Very few exact repeats actually - as the statistics would bear witness to. The trends however are everywhere … the surname as first name or O ending names for boys, 3/4 letter 2 syllable names for girls; as well as so many cutesy nicknames as given names for both sexes- well that covers about 90 per cent of all the young kids I meet at groups. Everybody seems to want something that’s not popular but that means they still often blend in or sound alike.

I’m always happy to meet a toddler Elizabeth, Edward, William, Emily, Maria, Michael, James, Alice etc - still very popular, but traditional type names that kind of stand out from the names of their peers in a good way now imo🤣
