DS in Year 3 has multiples of Violet, Florence, Reuben and Joshua.

DD in Reception has more than one Kit, Felix and Beatrice in her year.

How about yours?

Only 60 kids in the school so I don't think there's any repeats within a year group. There's multiples of Oliver, Jessica, Evie, Darcey and Ophelia throughout the school though.

In my child’s year (2) there are two of: Olivia, elodie, stan, luna, robin (both girls and both spelt like that, plus 2 boys called Robin in the year below!)

Olivia is to be expected but all the others I thought were more unusual.

Elena seems to be popular in my child’s year group

Pronounced El-lay-na or El-lan-na? A friend pronounces it the latter way, which baffles me because that's spelled Eleanor or Elinor

Ella, Anna, Bella
George, Harry, Josh, Theo, Grayson, Jack, Ben, Elijah

Ooh I am an Anna and I don't know another one! (but I am old). My DD16 has had three boyfriends named Alfie...I call them Alfie 1, 2 and 3. Many Lily's and Olivia's in her cohort. Arlo seems to be very popular now for boys.

Surprisingly few repeats at my daughters school. No two the same in their class but a couple that are similar. Very multicultural group. Across my friends and a wider social circle there seems to be loads of Dylan, Reuben, Sophia/Sofia/Sophies, Oscar, Leo.
