common names

[Buffyx]

I can't believe I left Jack/Jackson off my list! I have at least 3-4 friends on FB that have sons with this name. My mum has also been trying to get me to use it!

I admit, it's a great all-rounder name - cute for a baby and great for an older man too. But it's WAY too popular for me.

Lily, Noah and Harry are quite common here

In the UK

Sophie, Amelia and Olivia for girls

Thomas for boys ... at one stage 3 people I knew had babies in a row called Thomas. Charlie also, I seem to never leave the house without hearing someone call a baby/toddler Charlie.

They're nice names and there's a reason they're popular.

Jayden/Jaden and Jaxon/Jackson are pretty common where I am.

I decorate cakes for a living and I've had to do cakes for at least a few Jaxons. I don't really care for that name though

Out of my friends definitely Jacob for a boy, with the girls there seems to be more variation
Even though my boys have common names they've only ever been the only Thomas/harry in there class so far

I live in London and I think that in my area there must be people trying to look for uncommon names as the only name I can think of in my children's primary school (not small, it has 600 pupils) that is used more than once is Mohammed. Other than that I have two cousins (one on each side of my family) who have seven year old Alfie's.

No repeated girls names though.

Another Canadian here and for girls I always see/hear Olivia, Sophie(a), Isabelle(a), Ava, Eva, Emma, Chloe, Zoe

Boys seems to be all about the 'aiden' names as DH & I call them: Aiden, Brayden, Hayden, Jayden, Kaiden, Zayden. Needless to say we're staying away from these ones! lol

Just remembered there are three Isabelle's at their school.
