How many kids do you know...

How many kids do you know in your child's pre school/ regular school/family with the name Isabella, Elizabeth, Franchesca or Ava? Just wondering for baby naming. Thanks

Re: How many kids do you know...

I work in a school and there are a lot of isabelle/ellas. It's a family name in DHs family too...so it is old school. His 90 year old grandmother is isabel and every generation has at least one first name and many middle names.

I dont see Elizabeth much anymore. One or two tops. Ava is a bit more popular. I did have one francesca, but haven't ever seen it again.

DS had one Ava in his pre-k. A Bella in Pre-K and Ella in Kindergarten. We have a family friend with a daughter named Francesca (she's 5).

Re: How many kids do you know...

I work in a k-2 school and we have so many isabellas and Avas. There is at least one in each section of each grade, probably more. We've had a few elizabeths over the years and only 1 Francesca that I can think of in the last 14 years.

Off the top:

Isabella
1 in Robbie's 5th grade class, 1 in Noah's 3rd grade class, 2 friend's have daughters with this name (both under 5) and 1 lovely woman on here (also under the age of 5).

Elizabeth
5 women my age or thereabouts, 1 child in Noah's grade, 1 friend daughter under 5

Franchesca:
I know none with that spelling but I do know 1 friend who named her daughter Francesca (they call her Franki) and she is 1.

Ava:
At least 8 people IRL that I know have named their daughter Ava in the last 8 years or so.. a huge influx of them around 5 years ago.

Only one of each or are you saying there are multiples of each name in your school? What town are you in?

Isabella - 1-2?
Elizabeth - 0
Franchesca - 0
Ava - 1-2?

I don't know a lot of the kids, just from what I remember in DS's classes the last 2 years. Its a revolving door there sometimes.
