following on from name thread - what are the popular names in your dc's class

[hoppypuck]

Both my children have slightly unusual names, but still "normal" names. Since DD has started school we get really confused by the amount of children in her year at reception with the same name so I'm quite glad my dc's are different.

We have

3 x Ben
4 x Megan
5 x Emily
3 x Charlotte
6 x James
2 x Morgan (boys and 1 x Morgan girl)
2 x Mason
2 x Ethan
4 x Sam
3 x joshua
2 x Isaac

I guess being one of two people with the same first name wouldn't be too bad, but one of 6 James!!

What are the popular names in your childrens classes?

Ben is extremely popular at my dd's school on a whole. We personally know 9 of them!

Other popular names are:-
Sam
Jack
Megan
Chloe

Ds1 is one of three boys in his year with the same name, but ds2 is the only one of his name in reception.

in our area Luke and George are really common names for pre-schoolers

2 friends of mine (don't know each other) gave birth within a week of each other and both boys are named Luke!

and at toddlers we had 2 George's, then my sister and another friend both used George as well!

We seem to have a lot of Mias and Millies.

Can only think of a couple of repeats out of 40 in DS1's reception year.

Ben
Joshua
Molly
jack

If you can believe it there are 3 hectors

among boys, Jack, George, and Thomas.

Girls, I can think of quite a few called Milly, Molly, Lily, Charlotte, Daisy.

james joshua chloe and ella are popular my way i personally have a kieran, charlotte,megan,luke,jack and a chloe. didnt choose them because they were popular just easy names to scream when kids are doing my head in!

tow lukes

One quarter of the class have names beginning with 'K'.

My mate is a teacher says she has lots of Bethanys and Chloes and Jakes.

My mum has 2 Harrys in her Y6 class and 3 Courtneys.

Bens and Henrys galoree round here.

Ben must be hugely popular

Finn/Finlay/Finbar/Finton - know more of them than any other! (in Scotland btw)

Ben
Tom
Jack
William

2 girls called Mia in nursery
Kate/Katie
Charlotte/Lottie

3 Hectors? now that would be strange!

Out of the 90 in dss' yeargroup there are 5 boys called Thomas, 3 girls called Jessica, and two each of Sam, Luke, Rachel and Lucy.
Ds is the only one with his name in his yeargroup.

Out of the 80 in dds' yeargroup there are 4 girls called Hannah and two each of Amelia, Sohphie, Ellie, and Becky.
Dd is the only one with her name in her yeargroup.

There will be 6 children in ds's P1 class in August so no duplicates there

I was one of four girls in my year with my name. Hated it.

Mohammed
Nazia
Naziba
Kieran
Shane
Courtney
Jordan
Abdirahman
About 5 of each

the only name in dd's nursery class is dd's name Aimee both have the same spelling

All the boys are called Charlie or Jack

DS is in a Y1 class of 30 (one class per year at his school). The duplicates are:

Lauren
James
George

At DD's nursery Megan seems v. popular. I know of 3.

Just double-checked with dd.

Every single child in her class has a different name. Maybe because it's a very diverse school & community?

Don't know about the other 2 classes though.

Ben
James
Jack
Rachel
Kate/Katie
Ella
Eve/Evie

In DD's reception class that are 2 children each with the names

Nathan
Ben
Emily
