We went to a museum today and Charlie was sitting next to another Charlie... and Bee mentioned that there were also two other Charlies in the same room! So there were four Charlies in that room... the most I've ever been around at the same time!
What's the most kids with the same name as your LO that you've been in a room with at the same time?

0. But we've also got a 7 month old who hasn't been in too many room-full-of-kids situations!
He's a David.

Our LO isn't here yet, but I'm a teacher. The most I have ever had in a room with the same name was three. I did have four with the same name signed up for my first period this year but due to some schedule changes and others going by middle names it has worked out!

None yet, he's only 7 weeks, but we went to see a friend the other day who has a Nathaniel (LO is Nathan).
Like @jhd, I have a lot of repeat names in my classes. This year, there's a lot of Alex's

None so far.
I have been to a storytime though, where *I* had the same name as the storytime presenter and another mom.

Growing up, I was in a class with 5 other kids who had the same name as me!

@oliviaoblivia: I don't think I knew your LO's name-it's BEAUTIFUL!!

1, but it's the child of the friend whom we named our son after & he shared his father's name (but goes by a nickname).
F's name is fairly unique so I doubt we'll run into many other boys with that name beyond the 2 we already know.

Hasn't happened. Her name is not common so I'm not sure it will. Maybe if we go visit the South she'll meet some older ladies with her name.

None. I have heard of other kids named Tor but its not that common.

1 other child with the same name was in one of her art/craft class...there were only 8 kids in the class.

At a holiday open house we went to there were three little girls (LO included) and they were all Olivia. We call ours Liv but are well aware it's a popular name right now.

One of my old bosses has another C, but I've never had another in the same room. It's top 50, so I expect to at some time or another.
I've seen a couple on here for the name we are considering for #2, and I saw it on a birth announcement a few weeks ago at the OB's office. Surprising since it's in the 200's.

We met another Joel in Target. They pronounced it the Spanish "jo-el". First time we'd met another Joel, they were the same age, it was cute.

There was another child with the same name as my DS last time we were at the pediatrician. But it is a top 10 name so no surprise there.

None! And we go to lots of baby playground/story times. I'm actually surprised.

None! I doubt we will for a while, either. We gave her a very old-fashioned name.
GOLD / papaya / 10166 posts
None. It's not a common name so I wouldn't expect to ever see her next to another girl her name. DD2 might...

@LovelyPlum: In one of my high school classes there were 28 students. Of the 28, 6 of us had the same name. Luckily we all had different last initials.

I thought LO's name was a little unique, but a baby joined our gymboree class with the same name! So, just one at 6 months old.

0, for all 3 of my kids. Their names are Gabriel (5), Desirae (2), and Rosalie (5 weeks). I guess maybe we just don't hang out with other kids enough or something. Or maybe we just live in a tiny town that doesn't have enough kids for there to be doubles, lol.

@rahlyrah: aw, thanks! We call her by her nickname most of the time, so I hope she grows into her actual name lol!
