The names that multiple kids share at my LO's daycare are not the usual suspects. One of them is actually my LO's name, which surprises me since it was not even top 100 when we chose it. Here are the "doubles" at our small daycare (infant through toddler only):
Vivian (LO's name)
Iris (I think there are actually three of these)
Anya
What are the common names at your school or daycare?

There's only 10 kids in J's class last year there were two Dylans but that was it.
With other play groups we have multiple Landons, Liams, Logans, Emmas and Olivias.

We don't have any duplicates that I'm aware of. There is a girl Charlee and a boy Charlie in two different rooms...

I can't think of any true doubles, but there are several girls with the nickname of Addie (Adelaide, Addison, Addyson).

There are a few doubles: Parker, Kate, Liam, Charlotte, and Anika. But otherwise, several similar-sounding names: Madison/Madeleine, and Emily/ Emma/ Ellery/ Elle.

My MIL runs a preschool and she has like 3-4 Madeleines but all with different spellings and it drives her nuts especially because they're trying to write their names and it's a hilarious disaster 1)trying to write a name that long and 2)each girl thinks there's only one way to spell their name so they try copying each other or whatever but it's hard to say you're spelling it wrong!

Our LOs attend a fairly large center but somehow we haven't come across any repeats! My LO's have top 40 names but there is a broad mix of unique and popular ones.

They are all similar but not the same: Declan, Drexlan, Dylan...two Siena's.

C's preschool classmates have some creative names, so there's not a lot of overlap. lol She has a classmate named Myrikle, pronounced like Miracle.
There's a LOT of -aden names though. Kaden, Jayven, Jaden, Aiden, etc.

@loveisstrange: Oh GOOD LORD. Spelled like that it reminds me of Urkle, as in, Steve Urkle.

Versions of Olivia and Emily. But all the kids spell them differently, so there are no duplicates.

There are no repeats in her class but we know a couple Logans, Liams, Peytons, and Ethans.

No repeats in her class but she goes to after school ballet with kids from other classes. Out of 10 girls, 4 of them are named Harper.
Poor teacher.
