Susan. That ages me doesn’t it!? When DDs were at school it was Emily. The Times used to list 100 most popular names and I’d avoid most of them.

Lots of Rebecca/Emma/Sophie/Amy/Laura and Lauren. All with the middle name Louise, or possibly Anne or Jane.

There were a fair few girls in my secondary school with the exact same first and middle name combination as myself. The current generation equivalent is probably all the Amelia/Ava/Isla/Olivias paired with Rose, May or Grace as a middle name.
