Incidentally, DS is a top 5 name, and has never yet been in a group where someone shared his name (2 playgroups, 2 nurseries and 1 reception class so far...)

Went to one toddler group in the local hall where seven out of eight little girls were called Freya. There were two Freya May/Maes, and two Freya Junes, moreover.

The other big girl's name around here is Beatrice, weirdly enough - I know four under the age of two.

For little boys, it's the usual suspects - three Williams, two Charlies, two Thomases, three Olivers, two Freddies.
