I think the only repeating name this year is Alex and there are 3 of those. We have a high population of Spanish speaking kids (7 of my 18 are ESL), so I'm sure that accounts for some of the originality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059968 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:23:34 +0000 Smurfette 1059968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only see the names in the infant room and they are all pretty unique. One Josh, Emma, and Scott, those are the most "normal" ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059945 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:06:41 +0000 lamariniere 1059945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.cookie: I love "Ev" in French, but I'm afraid of the French/English confusion. I knew an American family in France who had their daughter there and named her Elodie. I think they called her L-odie whereas the French pronunciation is more like A-lodie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059842 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:30:32 +0000 mrs.cookie 1059842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: aren't they lovely names? My two have very un-French names but I'd have loved to call my son Ettienne. I love Elodie, that could work for both French and English? Lucie, Chloe, Eve are lovely and work well in both too. Although it can be confusing for English speakers that Eve is pronounced "Ev" :)</p> <p>Eta: I also love Aurelie, Sylvie and Genevieve... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059831 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:25:27 +0000 lamariniere 1059831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.cookie: I like the French-inspired names. :-) DS is half French with a very French first name, and we are currently looking for a girl name that works in English and French for baby 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059805 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:11:59 +0000 mrs.cookie 1059805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my little ones are in international (French speaking) daycare/kindy so we have lots of European and "foreign" names. </p> <p>So we have Mateo, Arabella, Sotaro, Inchiya, Bruno, Niko, Ettienne, Guillame, Jean-Luc, Josef, Vincente, Chloe, Lucie and Elodie. </p> <p>I've got a Timmy and a Penny - never met any LOs with same names yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059799 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:03:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 1059799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have many duplicate names, I think the only one has been Maeve.</p> <p>Keiran, William, Michaelangelo, Maisie, Grace, Griffin, Ivy, Decker, Dylan, Anders, Devin, Katerina, Toby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059477 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:58:54 +0000 mrsbookworm 1059477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have multiples of the following names in my baby group: Ava, Charlotte and Aidan.

I think it is getting more popular here though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059130 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:26:56 +0000 lamariniere 1059130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I think this Zeynep is Turkish. I had never heard it before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059127 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:25:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1059127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Very cute names. It's nice to hear something a little different to the ear and stimulate the mind. The only ones that sound really different to me is Achileas, Sander, Kalina and Boyco. We hear Zaineb pretty commonly here as a Somali name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059122 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:21:15 +0000 lamariniere 1059122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's school is full of international kids, so some of them are kind of odd to my American ears. However, there is a Sophie and a Sophia. Some of the other names I can think of are: Enzo, Isadora, Zeynep (a girl), Achileas, Sander, Kalina, Boyco, Anish, Maisie and Max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059053 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:29:44 +0000 autumnlove 1059053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Those are great names! I like Zs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1059012 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 14:42:40 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1059012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our class, there are 4 Eli 's out of 20 or so kids. It's funny because Elias was definitely on our boy short list... So if she was a boy, there might have been 5. Other names are Macy (close to our other daughter's name), Samantha, Matthias (also on our boy short list). Likeminded parents go to similar schools I guess.</p> <p>My other daughter has a Willow, Quinn, Zoe, Zora and Delilah. All cute girl names... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-popular-names-at-your-daycare#post-1058984 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 14:26:13 +0000 autumnlove 1058984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are 4 Liams and 2 girl Charlies! Cute names! There might be more but I only see the sign in sheets for the infants, young toddler and toddler rooms. </p>
