Ruby, [name_u]Holly[/name_u], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] are the ones I remember; Iā€™m currently in Sixth Form and there are two Mollys and three Graces.

Polina - 4 in a class of 28
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] / [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - 3
[name_m]Ilya[/name_m] - 2

My 8yo niece is [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and at her cubs there were 5 in one group last year. Such a shame cause it was a family name and she was the first child of my siblings so I donā€™t think anyone was anticipating the popularity!

[name_u]Brady[/name_u]/Bradie

My school was very multicultural so the names shared by more than one in a class were of African/Arabic/Asian origin:

Asia (various spellings)
[name_f]Sadia[/name_f] (various spellings)
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] (various spellings)

[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]

In primary school I had a small class but there were 2 girls called [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. I think there were 2 boys called [name_m]Owain[/name_m] in the year below me too. I really didnā€™t pay attention to other years so canā€™t comment.
In secondary, there were around 120 kids in my year. 4 boys were called [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], 3 boys called [name_u]Evan[/name_u], 3 boys called [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], 3 girls were called [name_f]Megan[/name_f], 3 girls called some form of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (all spelt differently), 2 boys called [name_m]Ioan[/name_m], 2 girls called [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] and 2 girls called [name_f]Freya[/name_f] (not the same 2 as before).

I teach at a very international university, and Iā€™ve had classes with multiples of:
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (various spellings)
[name_u]Maria[/name_u] (I had one class with 3 different spellings of [name_u]Maria[/name_u]/Mariia/Marie - pronounced [name_u]Maria[/name_u]).
Denisa
[name_f]Ksenia[/name_f] (various spellings)
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Dennis[/name_m] (various spellings)

Growing up in the US, I had multiples of:
[name_f]Sara[/name_f](h)
[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_u]Chris[/name_u]
[name_m]Jeff[/name_m]
[name_m]Micheal[/name_m]

I was sometimes in classes with another Julia in school, and given that there were about a million Katherines and Katies at my school Iā€™m sure at one point I had two in a class but I donā€™t remember. In college I was in a class with, if I recall correctly, four people named Alex of various genders.

Iā€™m a teacher, and in terms of my own classes Iā€™ve had multiples of:
Jaden (different spellings)
Aaliyah
Christian
and one class I had a JosƩ, a Joey, and a Joel which definitely was more confusing than having two of the exact same name.

Where I live, [name_f]Emily[/name_f]'s run rampant :slight_smile:

There are five Emmas in my year

I teach in a smaller city that borders [name_m]Boston[/name_m]. The community is very diverse.

Iā€™ve had multiples of:

If we include full grades, then [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], and [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/Katie- several of each.

The grade above me had four Hannahs! Weā€™ve always had more than one [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. Also lots of [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]/Sophias and Jacks! We also have lots of Audreys!

in my class there are two Donovans (both boys) and two Macys
