Baby names expected to become extinct in 2023 - and those set to rise in popularity

Greg, Peggie, Debra, Stevie and Cheryl are among the 40 baby names set to become extinct in 2023.

New research from Pregnacare by Vitabiotics has today revealed the top 40 baby names likely to be extinct in 2023 - as well as those expected to rise in popularity. Parents who are in search of a name for their child that they're unlikely to share with anyone else in their class could pick from a range of names including, Collette, Flossie, Remie or Wyley.

To help determine the most and least popular names for parents to sift through and choose from, Pregnacare analysed government data from 1996 to 2022 to identify trends and make an expert prediction based on year-on-year ranking increases and the number of babies born with each name every year.
