Which are the most commonly used names in your dd/ds class / school?

[imaginaryfriend]

Dd's class has 2 children called:

Emily
Nadia
Alex (boy)
Nikita (boy)
Cameron

Apart from Emily, I would have thought these names were fairly uncommon. Just curious to see which are the most popular names in your childs' school.

There are two little girls called Flora in my DD's class - my DD (half English half French) and a little Brazilian girl. All the other children have different names - but school is very multinational/cultural.

In DD's infant part of school, out of 30 girls there is a Milly and a Millie, two Alex (Alexandra) and an Alix.

Dd1 is 5 and in her class there are 2 Bens but no other duplications.

In her year group, half a dozen James/Jamies.

Dd2, the year below, has 2 Millies, 2 Ellies, 2 Caitlins and, again, more than a few Jameses.

Dd's school is also very multinational / multicultural. There are a lot of names I'd never heard before she started school.

2 x Chloes
2 x Jacks
2x Joshuas
2 x Olivias
2 x Emilys

3 x Sams (boys)
2 x Kierans

DB, those are also very popular names throughout dd's school.

Callum
Cameron
Mairi
Kirsty
Kyle
Lewis

4 Eleanor/Ellie's in dd's class next year. There are only 20 children in the class!

I teach 3 Josh's and 2 Mia's

William, thomas, Mollie, Alicia, Olivia

DD is 5 and there are 2 Bens and 2 Owens. None of the girls have the same name.

Over a third of children in DS's class have names beginning with K, and another 3 begin with C (pronounced k)

This is interesting because I live very close indeed to DB yet in our classes (3 of them across infants and juniors)

2 x Chloes- Nope, none at all
2 x Jacks- 2, in yr 3- none in the other classes
2x Joshuas- yes, 1
2 x Olivias- none
2 x Emilys-2 but in different years

3 x Sams (boys), 1- mine
2 x Kierans - None

Weare all Ella, Lewis and Harry here

There are 2 Isabels and an Isabella. No common boy's names, but in my son's last nursery there were 2 Joshuas, 2 Dylans and 2 boys called Max.

In ds's year (60 children) there are 2 Jameses, 2 Freddies, 2 Joshuas.

cameron

I'm so surprised other people have multiple Camerons. I genuinely had never met one until dd started school.

Peachy - I think your school is posher than mine!!
We also have Callums, Ellie's and a few Megan's

There are 3 Charlies, 2 Sams and 2 Graces in DS2's class.

2 Lukes in DD nursery class.

2 James' in DS1 class.

Isabelle
Sophie
James
Matthew
Toby

DD's year (Reception, 61 children) has: two Emilys, two Annas, two Annabels, two Maxes, two Williams, two Jameses and THREE Harrys. There are another three names which have two near pairings, but with slightly different spellings.

I think other local schools got our allocation of Sophies.

Another interesting feature is that only 10 of those 61 children have a first initial in the second half of the alphabet, the other 51 are M or before.

2x Erin one girl and one boy.
2x Kai one girl and one boy.
2x Libby both girls
2 x James
2 x Hannah

There are 2 Mias in ds's class. There aren't any Joshuas Jacks or Emilys but in the catchment school which isn't as multicultural there are 7 Joshuas in Yr1.

i don't know all the children's names yet. but i haven't come across two of any of them. also multicultural.

DD id the only duplicate in her class (Carys) but I know of soooooo many more in other local schools ... even though I knew of none when she was born.
