Gosh I would have written the same, plus a few extras.
All except Sophie Henry and George make my skin crawl.

Lots of Oscar's lots of Alfie's, Archie's and Albies.
Amelia's Olivia's Ava's Mila's Mia's

I see ottilie mentioned a lot online at the moment but have never met one it sounds extremely posh to me but then people probably think the same about my name

Where I live there's a little sign up in the registrar's office when you go to register your baby saying what the most popular names are. I think when I went just over a year ago it was Noah and Emily.

Penny seems to be v popular. I really don't like the name, but I guess others do. Holly, Lily, Molly, Eve/Eva are popular for girls and Leo, Alfie, Kai and Rueben for boys. Ds, 19 knows multiples of Toms, Sams, Eves and Daisy.

Theo definitely where we live, we know loads of them! We’ve moved area twice since having the DCs and it does seem to vary massively, we had never met a Theo before we lived here. There aren’t really any others that stand out, ie more than two in the year group.

Actually very few repeats around here (NE London). In my child's large preschool I can only think of 2 x Nora/h and 2 x Sulayman/Sulaiman.
More widely Finn/Finlay/Finton very popular for boys, and Esmae for girls.
