Most Popular Girls Names At My School

Girl Baby Names
#1

Hey there everyone! So I’ve come up with a list of girls names that are really over-used at my school. Some of them might shock you, some of them maybe not. So here I go:

[name]Kenzie[/name]/[name]Kinzie[/name] - I know sooo many girls with this name . . . I can think of 7 off of the top of my head and I go to a small hillbilly high school in the middle of nowhere haha!

[name]Amber[/name] - I think [name]Amber[/name] is the 2nd most popular name. I can think of at least 3 girls with this name just in my grade alone!

[name]Sara/name - I actually like this name, but I would never use it because of its popularity. Last year in my band class, we had 4 girls named [name]Sarah[/name] and our band only had like 20 kids. It was kinda crazy :slight_smile:

[name]Kendra[/name] - Surprisingly, I know quite a few [name]Kendra[/name]'s. This name sorta gets on my nerves.

[name]Samantha[/name] - Also quite common in my school, along with the boys name [name]Samuel[/name].

[name]Alexa[/name]/[name]Alexis[/name] - I can think of 2 girls with this name in my grade.

[name]Jordan[/name] - This name is also very popular . . . only amongst the girls though . . . I believe there is only 1 boy in our school with this name.

Well, those were just a few of the most popular names in my school. [name]How[/name] about I share some of the names that only one person has?

[name]Gloria[/name]
[name]Isabel[/name] (kind of surprising)
Shaelynn
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Alyssa[/name]
[name]Paige[/name]
[name]Brittany[/name]
[name]Kelly[/name]
[name]Carissa[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Allison[/name]
[name]Shelby[/name]
[name]Brooke[/name]
[name]Meghan[/name]
[name]Jamie[/name]
[name]Joan[/name]

Really? That’s interesting. I’m in the UK, and I’m the only [name]Amber[/name] in my school. :slight_smile:

The names that are popular in my school for girls:

  1. [name]Eleanor[/name] / [name]Ella[/name] / [name]Ellie[/name], etc - I, personally, am so tired of the nickname [name]Ellie[/name]. ><
  2. Chloe - sort of fed up of this name too
  3. Emily - I like this name so I don’t mind hearing it a lot
  4. Amy / Aimee - it’s a cute name, but popular
  5. Hannah - in all different years
  6. Olivia - don’t mind this name but it’s still pretty popular

And for boys:

  1. Daniel - so many Dans.
  2. Harvey - you wouldn’t think it, but it’s popular
  3. Jacob - so many Jakes.
  4. Harry - there are so many that no one makes the Harry Potter connection
  5. Andrew - and three of them have the same initials

I got bored one day and created a most popular list of names for my school using last year’s yearbook. I lumped variant spellings together and used the most popular spelling for the list. Here are the top ten for girls:

  1. [name]Jessica[/name]
  2. [name]Lauren[/name]
  3. [name]Ashley[/name]
  4. [name]Brittany[/name]
  5. [name]Megan[/name]
  6. [name]Mary[/name]
  7. [name]Sarah[/name]
  8. [name]Elizabeth[/name]
  9. [name]Hannah[/name]
  10. [name]Katie[/name]

I should add that I’m in [name]Alabama[/name].

I’m a college professor in the U.S. (Maryland), and these are the 10 names I see most often in my classes:

  1. [name]Brittney[/name] (I once had four in the same class–drove me nuts!)
  2. [name]Alyssa[/name]
  3. [name]Ashley[/name]
  4. [name]Jessica[/name]
  5. [name]Megan[/name]/[name]Meghan[/name]
  6. [name]Lindsay[/name]/[name]Lindsey[/name]
  7. [name]Emily[/name]
  8. [name]Briana[/name]
  9. [name]Hannah[/name]
  10. [name]Kristen[/name]/[name]Kristin[/name]/[name]Kristyn[/name]

With some exceptions, I think these lists only reinforce my rule of avoiding the top 25-50 most popular names in my area.

#7

None of these really shock me, imo, this is what I’d expect to find in a highschool.

[name]Hannah[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Sarah[/name] and [name]Katie[/name]/every verison of [name]Catherine[/name] or [name]Caitlin[/name] you can imagine are definitely the most popular names in my school. For boys, it’s [name]Nick[/name] (I’m in a class with 12 people and there are two!), [name]Jake[/name], [name]Josh[/name], [name]Nate[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name]. So overused! I also work in an elementary school. There it’s all [name]Alena[/name]/[name]Alanna[/name]/[name]Elaina[/name] and any version of [name]Baden[/name]/[name]Bradyn[/name]/[name]Aidan[/name]. [name]Alex[/name] is probably the biggest name overall because it’s hugely popular for boys and girls.

I’m in Ohio, for reference point.
