School Year List - U.K
Replies
There are several names on this list that are becoming "dated" U.S.: Alexis, Jessica, Kathleen, Tanya, Harvey, Jeremy, and Seth. To my ears, they all sound like the parents of kids born in 2012 & 2013 (Kathleen & Harvey might even be their grandparents)!
Rylie (this spelling) and Jaden Ray in particular surprise me. Rylie looks quite feminine, and Jaden Ray is a name I wouldn't expect to find outside the U.S. South. Also, Abby Rose looks and sounds a lot like Abbey Road.
Of these names, I like:
Adelina
Helena
Jessica
Maya
Zoe
&
Matt (as a nickname for Matthew)
Seth
Theo (as a nickname for Theodore)
Yousef
Zach (as a nickname for Zachary)

Double-barrel names are very common in the UK.
Interesting- I’m in the uk and I rarely come across them! Three in a class does seem a lot, especially as they don’t seem that high in the popularity charts, but I guess it must vary by location within the uk.
