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.

I've got one of those too chequers. And if anyone mentions margerine to me I
(a) think 'how common'
(b) give them an uncomprehending but icily blank stare
(I'm quite good at that now)
Suits her though.
And guess what, there aren't any others in her class / nursery!

No duplicate girls in DD's class, but there are
2 x Rhys
2 x Dafydd
out of 10 boys. No prizes for guessing where I live

Think ALL the boys at DD's nursery are called Thomas/Tomos.

DD is in a school class of 11.
Two are called James (well, one is now Jamie)
and there would have been two Mia's (but one has left)

Yr4: 3xKieran, 2x each Thomas, Alex, Daniel, Jack.

Yr2: 2 x each Oliver, Tyler, Ben.

Year groups of 45-50, so not that many duplicates considering the size of the intake.

If you look across years (R-Y4) in each year there is generally one+ per year:
Isobel, Thomas, Kai, Joseph, Joshua, Jasmin.

The funny thing is the common names we don't have -- No one (that I know of) called Emily, or William. Only one each of Chloe, Jessica Lauren (etc.) in all of R-Y4.

4 x Harry

The repeats in ds's class are:-
Charlie
Charlotte
Chloe

Dd's
James
Jack
Harry

I have 4 dc in school most common names are

Lily

Megan

Ellie

Sam

Ben

Lewis.

jack
harry
dan

ruby (6yrs)
Alex (6 years)

Ben (also 6 years)

Sam (4/5 years)

I can think of at least 3 of the above names at dd's school and immediate friends

Year 8 DS has lots of Hannahs

Year 5 DD has lots of Georges, Maxes and Olivias

Year 2 DD has loads of Rachels, Ellies and Harrys

Seem to be some Chloes in every year.

Also several Charlies in each year, both girl and boy.

Anastasia
Amber
Jessica
Greg

Lots of Emilys, Amies, Annas, Rebeccas plus Woodys, Mikeys, Jameses, Lewises, Bens.

Ok, by quick summary then the most popular boys names seem to be:

Cameron
James
Harry

And girls:

Emily
Olivia
Ellie

Dd1 (8)

Charlotte (2)
Niamh (2)
Rebecca (2)
Joseph/Josef (2)
Matthew (3)

Dd2 (8)

Ellie/Elly (2)

No other duplicates

Amongst friends, the most popular names by far are Caitlin, Charlotte, Ellie, Laura, Daniel and Joshua

In DS's primary class there were 3 x Matthew
seems to be quite a few in his year at secondary school.

DD has 2 x Joshua

wierdly my ds1 is the only one in the school with his (top list 10 for a long time) name, but there are 5 of them in his beaver group.

My 2 have top 10 traditional type names as well and neither of them had another in their primary school class. There is another of DS's name in his set at secondary I think.

DD's class of 29 has no duplicates
amazingly

and no Camerons, Ellies, Harrys or Olivias

One Emily and one James though

ds rec class of 21 had no duplicates. current mixed yr1/2 class has a Ben and a Benjimum (sp?), think that is the only one.

Ah maybe not
I know two small Kittys (under 1)
