What are some very overused names where you’re from?

Here are mine!
Girls
[name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] (There are so many where I’m from! Almost all of them are spelt differently too!)
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] (at least 3 girls had this name in my hallway last year and they all went by [name_f]Bella[/name_f]!)
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as middle name (some of the Kaitlyn’s had Elizabeth as their middle name)
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] as a middle name
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (2 girls in my class had this name)
Names ending in -leigh
[name_u]Jadyn[/name_u] or any other spelling
Names ending with -son

Boys
More [name_u]Jayden[/name_u]'s ([name_u]Friend[/name_u] has brother with this name)
[name_u]Aiden[/name_u] ([name_f]My[/name_f] 5th grade teacher has a son with this name)
[name_u]Brayden[/name_u] (The same teacher also had a son with this name!)
[name_m]Cayden[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] (I think we had 2 or 3 of them in my hallway last year)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] ([name_f]My[/name_f] cousin has this name)

For whatever reason there aren’t a lot of names that get super, super popular where I live, or at least with the people I’ve met. We have a lot of kids name [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_m]Olivier[/name_m], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_u]Max[/name_u], and [name_u]Miles[/name_u], but I also know two girls named A.u.r.e.l.i.a and two girls named E.s.m.e.

beatrice (+ one beatrix)
francesca
saskia
eliza
elodie
rose
florence (+ almost as many floras)
madeleine
maya
maisie
amelie
tabitha

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (I work with 6)
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]

Boys are much more varied, don’t think I know more than one of the same name, but going off Facebook then [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] are popular for babies
