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.

DS1 (9): 4 Matthews, 3 Jameses, 3 Laurens, 3 Jessicas in yr (65 kids).

DD (7): 3 Williams, 2 Poppies, 2 Georgias, 2 Hannahs (60)

Ds2 (5) 3 Olivers, 2 Maxes, 2 Josh, 3 Mias (40 kids).

All fairly standard I would say except Poppy maybe.

In dd1's class (p7) there are

2x Kieran
2x Eilidh
2X callum

In dd2's claas which is nursery there are no duplicates

How do you all know this?? It took me a whole year to find out dd's nursery names!

And there we had out of 30:

3 x Jack
3 x Martha
2 x Leo
2 x Ellie
2 x Sarah

So almost half the class had a stock of 5 names!

At Ds'a pre school:
2 X Leah
2 X Hannah
2 X Lewis
2 X chloe
3 X Ellie
2 X Kayleigh

In DS's reception/nursery class of 30 there are

2 x Ben (and one Benjamin )
2 x Lewis

Don't think there are any other duplicates.

DD's pre-school class has two Alices (one of which is mine). I think I have a tendency for choosing popular names .

DS is in Y3 and the duplicates (two each) in a class of 29 are:

James
Lauren
George

DD will be in reception from January and the duplicates there in a class of 19 (lucky DD) are:

Benjamin (although one known as Ben)

and that is it.

It will be interesting to see if the names are very different so many years later

DS has 3 friends called Charlie.
Still quite a few Emilys I think.
2 Bobbys.
And Harrys and Lilys galore of course.
All nice names though, I understand why they are popular.

Isabella
Ava
Sophia/Sofia
Jack
Harry/Harrison
Archie
George

Oliver, Jacob, variations of Isabel/la, Harry, Jack, Thomas, variations of Eve/ Evie/ Eva/Ava. There seems to be less duplications if girls’ names than boys’ but in the year below DS all but 2 of the girls had names ending in -y, -ie or -a.

Girls:
Florence (this is by far the most common name in the school I think)
Isabella
Sophia
Grace

Boys:
Charlie
Issac

Not a very multi cultural school at all. Middle class area.

I had two Erics in my class last year-I thought that was relatively unusual.

28 in the class, there are 3 Wilfreds and 3 Harrys

3 Mckenzie's in my sons class (I think it's an awful chavy name, each to their own tho)

In Y3:
3 x Maya
2 x Maryam + Maryama
2 x Zara
Yosef, Yusuf and Yunus
There aren’t many White British kids.

Ted
Jack
Oscar
Amelia
Grace

Arthur!! Everywhere!! Although there are no duplicates in DS1’s class. I know loads of little Arthurs though and it’s DS2’s middle name.

In DS2’s nursery there are 2 Evans, a Euan and a Ewan. DS2 is one of those 😄

Millions of vowelly girls everywhere.

And there was another Euan at the park the other day.

Also know a few Otises
