Andrea, [name_f]Mariana[/name_f], [name_f]Carla[/name_f]/Karla, [name_f]Karen[/name_f], [name_f]Mariana[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

There were a ton of [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]’s & [name_f]Elise[/name_f]’s! Probably other names I’m not remembering as well.
I remember ALL of my classmates 1st grade & up. I had a [name_f]Brooklynn[/name_f] & a [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u] together once.
Jessica, [name_f]Michelle[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Ryan[/name_u]
Graduated high school in 2008. Most common names I remember were [name_f]Katie[/name_f] (and variants), [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Erin[/name_f], [name_f]Amanda[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Megan[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], and [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]. All of these had repeats in at least one class I took in school. Interestingly, mostly girl names.
Not as many repeats on the boys side, but would say [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], [name_u]Chris[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m]/Jonathan, and [name_m]Justin[/name_m].
I distinctly remember a summer program I attended in 2007. Total of 380 students there and a full 10% were named [name_f]Katie[/name_f] or a variation thereof. Notably, this wasn’t an all-girl program.
I graduated in 2008. The main names I remember there being multiples of where [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] (my sisters name), [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] and it’s variant spellings, and [name_f]Amanda[/name_f]. I weirdly can’t think of any boy names that I had Multiples of in my classes.
SO MANY NATHANIELS. I’ve known at least 7 [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]’s from school (not counting the ones out of school) and at one point I had like 5 [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]’s in my class and they either went by [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (Last initial) or [name_m]Nate[/name_m] (Last initial). I also knew a lot of [name_m]Julien[/name_m]’s, [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]’s, [name_u]Aiden[/name_u]’s, [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]’s (only boys though), [name_u]Connor[/name_u]’s and [name_u]Jaiden[/name_u]’s. For girls I knew a ton of [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]’s, [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]/Abby’s, [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]/Bella’s, [name_f]Arianna[/name_f]’s, [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]/Sara’s, [name_f]Ava[/name_f]’s (only one [name_f]Eva[/name_f] though) [name_f]Trinity[/name_f]’s and [name_f]Leah[/name_f]’s.
Katie (up to 3)
[name_u]Sam[/name_u] (boy)
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] (up to 3)
[name_u]Chris[/name_u] (boy, but there was also [name_f]Christine[/name_f])
[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_m]Will[/name_m]
[name_m]Johnny[/name_m]
My register in maths went something like ‘[name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f]’ with an [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] and another [name_f]Emily[/name_f] thrown in later for good measure. We had 3 [name_f]Emma[/name_f] (I was one which is why I remember that register), 4 [name_f]Emily[/name_f], 2 [name_f]Ella[/name_f], 2 [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] & 2 [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] all in amongst 60 girls, waaaaaay overrepresented. Other common names: [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], [name_m]Luke[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Connor[/name_u], [name_u]George[/name_u].
We were a Catholic school so other common Irish names did pop up across the whole school: [name_f]Roisin[/name_f], [name_f]Aoife[/name_f], [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f], Deaglan, [name_m]Conall[/name_m] etc.
As an [name_f]Emma[/name_f], there are a lot of Emmas everywhere (obviously). But even more than [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f] was super popular. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_u]Izzy[/name_u], [name_u]Abby[/name_u], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] were all common. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f] as well. For boys, [name_u]Chris[/name_u], [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Brayden[/name_u]/Braiden.
Growing up, lots of [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m]/Will, and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]/Katie. I am also a teacher myself now and I honestly don’t have a lot of repeat names, except there are about a million versions of [name_u]Jayden[/name_u]/Jaden. Also, unusually given that it doesn’t really feel trendy for this age range, I have three different boys named [name_m]Richard[/name_m] in my classes this year.
Counted other popular names too, 19 Ahmets and 15 Elifs in my grade.
Also there are 4 other people with my name (one being my classmate). Sigh.
