Names duplicated in your kids classrooms

Since we do have a few teachers here, too, I figured this might be interesting to ask of everyone...What names are most common in either your child's classroom or if you're a teacher, your own classes?

I know there are quite a few Michael's in my step-sons classes. They have to differentiate by referring to them as "Michael P." and "Michael G." and so on... No other Alec's... One other Logan, no other Cody's and no other Lacey's...And well by the time my Emma starts school I'm sure she'll be just one of 20. :)

Anyway, just curious...

My neice has 3 Sam's in her kindergarten class. She also has a boy Riley and girl Rylee.

With my 4-year-old son, we've seen duplicates of Alex, Grace and Alyssa in the past couple years. It's funny how other less-popular names can sometimes duplicate by chance too, though, like Oscar and Mira. ???

For babies, I know a TON of Jack's. Ethan and Aidan seem to be everywhere too.

In a past class I taught 2 Madisons, and in another class I had 2 Coltons (1 spelled Coltin). This year there is one Cole in the AM K class and one in the PM so not technically the same class. This year I have an aide named Sophie and a student named Sophie.

I found it odd that there were 2 Coltons especially since that is NOT a common name just a coincidence.

I have known/taught many Bradens, Briannas, and Coles as well, just not the same year.

There have been lots of Alli's throughout my daughter's different classes and after school program.
