Help[Opinions] Some interesting names from a tiny, private English girls school
I spent the morning at my cousin Lottie's school, the most gorgeous litle school with only 100 girls from 3 to 11. The classes are tiny, max 12 girls, and I thought it was very interesting to see which names were repeated in such tiny classes. I've put a couple of classes besides Lottie's because I worked with a few different ones today and thought some of them were very interesting. Sibs if I know them are in brackets, and all spellings are definate.
Form 1 (Lottie's class aged 4+5)
Charlotte Sophie "Lottie" (twin brother James Frederick, my cousins ;)
Iona (James, Cameron (boy) and Isla)
Isabella "Issy" (Thomas)
Katia (prn. hard k, kat-ee-ah, sister Romany)
Lauren
Megan (prn. like Meg-anne, sister Romy)
Suzanna (Helena)
Trinity Imogen Angelique (Mathilde Madeleine Sophia "Tilly" and Caius Zachary Alexander)
Nursery (ages 3+4)
Annabel (Emily)
Eleanor "Ellie" (Ruby)
Hannah
Jenna
Louise
Maia
Maisie
Zoe
Form 2 (ages 5+6)
Annabel
Camara (prn like Tamara and Samara with a hard C, sister Tavia, prn. like Octavia without the Oc bit)
Claudia
Eleanor
Grace
Isabella
Lucianna (prn soft C, as in Lucy-ahn-ah)
Megan (Meg-anne)
Molly
Susanna
Form 3 (ages 6+7)

Charlotte
Clemency

Why is it a good thing namewise to be in the UK?
You've got me wondering now! I move to Canada on April 11, is that a good thing namewise? Lol.
And yes, I am in the UK...it'd be a tiny bit difficult to go to my cousins school if I wasn't, lol ;)
