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.

Millies and Ellies- every second girl
Jack, Max, Alex and Archie for the boys - about 3 of each in each class.

Amelia/Isla/Sophia. In a year group of 38 children there are 15 girls with those 3 names.

There is less repetition amongst the boys.

Mia x 2
Maria x 2

That's is only duplicate out of 20

But the teacher is Kate and so is the class room assistant

Very multicultural class

We have, or have recently had, multiple

Sam, Joseph, Jamie, Max, Oscar, Elliott

Sophie, Hannah, Libby, Ellie

In DS's class the most popular names are Oliver / Ollie and Harry. No duplicate names among the girls.

2x william

Arthur, Stanley, Olivia, Isla

My kids are older but DC1s class has 3 Camerons and 3 Rachels and DC2s class had three Meghans and Three Callums. DC3s class only had 2 Daniels.

No duplicates in my Y2 class, but strangely some very 1970s names, a Kelly, Angela, Deborah and Diana.

My sons class has three children called Reuben

I didn’t think that was common before hand

Jess / Jessie / Jessica - at one point my daughter had 4 friends called Jess. Oddly it was also one of my first choices for my older girl but I don't even remember seeing it in the top 100.

Like several others were riven with permutations of Isabel and Sophia.

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

3 x Sams (boys)
2 x Kierans

In one class? Blimey

Two Lilly’s (were three but one left)
Two Evie’s
Two Tia’s (this one surprised me)
Two Milo’s

Toby x 4
Jack
Tilly
Alfie

out of two kids classes the only duplicated names are
Leo
Max
Lily

Oh and Girl Alex and Boy Alex

Only just realised this is from 2008!!

No dupes but we have a Molly, a Polly and a Dolly all in the same class

Apparently two Lilly's (obviously popular name but unusual spelling) and two Darcie's...

I once had an extra curricular group of 4 kids. Two were called Evie and one Aoife.

Ooh that reminds me, I know two Lily-Anns (spelled like that, not Lilian).

My kids’ school is very multicultural so there is a big variety of names and neither of them have any duplicate names in their classes. At one stage there seemed to be loads of girls called any of Eva, Evie, Ava,Isabelle, Bella, Belle, Edie etc. There are quite a few of Otis and Arlo. There seems to be an Emily (but only one) in every class.

Oh yes! I imagine name trends have changed since then! I did think that Chloe and Olivia seemed slightly ten years ago!

I love the name Sophie - I have boys so never had the chance to use it - but I always thought it was too popular. But in 11 years of parenthood I have never come across a child called it. One or two Sophias but not Sophie. Ditto Jack - I do know one Jack but it’s not anywhere near as common as I would have thought. Quite wish I’d used it!
