Pre school names

[mum1345]

What names are in your preschool setting? Any with duplicate names?!

Last year DD had 5 Lyla or Lyras in her group of 30.

Lots of Ottos and Arlos. and Margots (various spellings) on a similar theme.

My niece has little friends with names like Ivy, Violet and Cora being duplicated.

There's also a couple of Elodies and a lot of Leo/Theo and Teddies.

Lots of Leo, Freddie and Freya here

Joey and Carter are the only 2 duplicates in a class of 32

Lots of Theo's, Teddy's, Ivy's, Lottie's to name a few.

In DS pre school there is a Lyla, Lara, Lyra and Lia and 2 Teddy's

I’m an early years teacher, we have 3 Jacks, 2 Arlos, 2 Ivys, 2 Bellas, a Lyla and a Layla

We’ve had years of Ellas Bellas Evies and Erins… and Archies, Charlies and Alfies… but it’s now more likely to be Atlas or Harlow, or Margot or Juniper

Alina/lena/lelina

lots of autumns, willows, Margot, lily

DS is 2 and the only repeated name in his nursery toddlers room is Noah.

Lots of ava/isla/eva/ada

Arlo
Milo
Clementine

3 Raffys last year
3 Rivers this year

Evie x 2 last year
James x 2 last year
Mia x 2 this year

Avery x 4

No doubles currently but a lot of O ending names (seems very trendy at the moment) - there’s an Arlo, Theo, Leo and Milo. Also there’s an Albie, Archie and an Alfie (as well as a lot of other “ie” ending boys names that don’t start with A). And short E heavy names are popular for girls - there’s an Elsie, Esme, Ella and Eva.

But there is actually only one of the Eva/Evie/Ivy/Ava type names, so maybe that V trend is fading, and no Sophie/Sofia/Sophia or Isabelle/Isobel/Isabella or an Oliver or Olivia as you might expect based on national stats (there is a Noah and Amelia though).

Basically if you avoid an O or ie ending name for boys or a short 2 syllable, vowel heavy name for girls then it stands out more here, whatever the popularity overall.

We have in my setting 6 ivy's and 4 of them are ivy-rose! Also 4 Theo's!
We also have duplicates of Leo, teddy/teddie, albie/Alby, poppy and Freddy/Freddie these names have all been very popular for a few years, but ivy-rose has got to be the current most common double barreled name by a mile!
