DS has two of each in his class and I don't consider then common names. However both my kids have common names and have never had another in their classes. So have you heard of girls with these names? Azlynn, Riley, Morgan
Feel free to add your own uncommon yet common names.
I've known many female Morgans - but don't know any little girls right now.
Azlynn I assume is someone making something up?
Riley, oh Riley. I hate this name for a girl. I know 3 off the top of my head - 2 Ryleighs and 1 Rylie. Seriously, it might be my least favorite name, it really grates from some reason.
Oh, and since you said your kids don't have kids w/ their names - Ellie has 2 or 3 Jack/Jacksons in her class now. We've not had another Ellie in school, but there are 2 at church in her age range. I hear Ellie a ton, though.
Our schools are quite diverse and it's hard to know at face value if some of the names in her class are younique or cultural.
The oddest name I've encountered so far is a Jagger in V's preschool class now.
This is on baby name wizard - my guess is some variation of Aislin or Aslan from the CON is that spurned many of them:
My oldest daughter's name is Azlynn and she has fared well with it for almost 9 years. Generally we receive compliments of how pretty and different it is. She is definitely the only Azlynn at her school, but not in the area we live It's still not relatively that common though. I thought I had made it up. I had originally found the name Aislinn and was pronouncing it the way I thought it sounded, which was Azlynn. After deciding on that name and changing the spelling with the z and y and removing the i and s, I found out that Aislinn was actually pronounced "ashlynn"...so hence I thought I made it up. Then it was pointed out to me later on that it was the name of the Lion from Chronicles of Narnia. However that is not the case. His name is actually Aslan and there is a slight difference of pronunciation.
I know several girls named Morgan. DS had 2 girls named Riley in his K class. I have never heard of Azlynn. My kids have fairly common names as well but haven't had anothe child with the same name in their class. There is another Joshua in DS's grade but they have not been in the same class yet. I did not realize Sophia was so common. Ther is a Sophia in DS's class and DD's class. I also had a Sohpia in all 4 classes I subbed in last week and this week.

I have never heard Azlynn before.
I have heard Morgan for a girl, but can't think of any we know right now.
One year teaching K I had Riley, Ryleigh, and Rylee, all girls. That was the same year I had Jack, Jacks, and Jax, Adin, Aiden and Aidan, along with Brayden, Hayden, Caden, and Zayden. I kind of hated that year.
Jack is and always has been the only Jack in his class. We actually tossed around both Morgan and Riley as girl names when I was pregnant with him. LOL
In DS's class there is a Morgan and a Payton. I have a cousin named Morgan. I don't side-eye Morgan, or Riley even (I know a Riley). Azlynn though?
Odd names I've seen on preschoolish-aged kids: Payton (girl), Adelynn, Addison (girl), Beckuh (the sp, not the name, is odd), Fidora
Fidora? That's a new one.
DD has a Magnus in her class. I kind of like it, and it works for him.
I have met a few little Evelyn's since DD was born, but so far she has yet to be in a class with anther one. And DS' nickname (Gus) is surprisingly common around here, though most people comment on it as being unusual when we give his name.

Maybe azlynn is the youneek new way of spelling aisling? (Irish name, pronounced ashlyn.)
I have a Morgan in my class this year. Have had one Riley boy and one Riley girl but not recently. I get a Jack just about every year but not this year. ...sent from my Jedi Mind.
Wow, makes me realize how strange DS1's class is. There are absolutely 0 "younique names" The strangest one is Johan but they're hispanic so it seems cultural.
