Guest Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Kyle is the new Wayne/Darren round here . I also used to dread Scott popping up on a class list.In class I tend to find names go in sound phases-lots of J's then another year ones that end with ie (Millie, Tillie, Billy) and the next year y endings (Milly, Tilly, Harry) With my sewing business I can spot trends in names. Isabelle/Isabel/Isabella has been a common one recently so the popular year for this must be starting school and boys names are much more random and with varient spellings rather than a couple of popular names. I do wish there were more Bens and Sams as they are easier to sew!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Last year we had lots of children with J names and I just could not keep track of them at all. I started to sound like my grandma, going through all the names before I got a response!. Not so bad this term so far, but that might have something to do with the fact we have hardly any children at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I think there was something similar a couple of years ago Beau. It lead to outrage amongst some parents who took the line that their children were being judged before they entered the school. My childrens names dont appear on the lists but it does say "More than a third also claimed that the naughtiest children are often the brightest - and the most sensitive." So thats my youngest taken care of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Oh we don't judge the children, just the parents who give them datf names in the first place............often deleting vowels is a favourite name construction method in the south east.

Staff team have nightmares when labelling work to make sure goes out correct!
