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?

In dd's year (year 5) there are 2 Christophers and 3 Lucys. None of the other children share a name.

Harry
William
Ben
Isobel
Helena

In ds's reception year of 60 there are
5 x James (plus 1 Jamie)
3 x Alex/Alexander
2 x Archie
2 x Lucas (plus 1 Louis, 1 Lewis and 1 Luca)
2 x Millie
2 x Amelie

ds doesn't go to school yet, but literally every 2nd boy I meet here (S Germany) is called Lukas, Jonas or Leon, and every second girl is Lea, Lena or Laura.

In DD's class there are 15 grls and all have different names:

Within the school I think there more than a couple called Emily, Katie, Phoebe...

DD is the only Mollie, so not too popular here at least

Not my Dd's but my class / year, I have:
5 Sams
4 Jacks
3 Joes
2 Williams
2 Bens
3 Toms

No doubles at all with the girls' names though!

Elliot, Owen, Ryan, Caitlin, Katie all feature more than once.

DD's class are primarly traditional names, thinking about it now. Only two or three more unusual names - one Asian, one American, so maybe more popular there:
Mollie
Grace
Erica
Jessica
Sophie
Alexandra
Olivia
Katie
Ella
Phoebe
Emily
Ellie
Saffron
Ruaa
Liberty

There are 3 thousand Caitlyn and Chloes in DDs creche. And 657 Joshuas

Molly is the most popular everyone seems to be called Molly at ds's nursery.

Megan
Chloe
Harry
Charlie

Califrau - more or less, yes! (private pre-prep)

I love Califrau's list

Lizzylou, the Bens I know are Benedict, Beniah and Bennet (with an American mother) as well as Benjamins.

Across ds3's nursery as a whole I hear lots of:
Max
Ben
Jack
Harry

Ella
Mia
Hannah
Sophie

Millie
Ben
finlay
Mia
Tilly
Lily
