Mines are:

Jayden - had 8 clients so far this year with that name
Ellie
Eva
Imogen
George
Girl names ending in Lee, Lea, Leigh

photographerlady I hear you on the name Jayden. I know of about 7! I also know of about 6 Kelly's. They all have the same second name of Ann too.

Finlay, Joseph, Sam, Elliott

Sophie, Hannah, Evie (etc)

All perfectly good names! Which is why they're popular, I suppose!

Definitely noticed a lot of Eve/Ava/Evies.

Can't say I have noticed any repetition with boys.

Amelia/Amelie, Isabella/Bella, Poppy, Freya for girls.

George and Freddie for boys.

There is a lot of similarity of names around here, and similar styles - so most of the girls have 'pretty' names and the boys have traditional names.
