Greg and Tammy going extinct - which baby names will die out in 2023

Carolyn, Debra, Meryl, Greg, and Walt are all baby names set to go extinct in 2023, alongside 35 other names listed in new research released today from Pregnacare by Vitabiotics. The data research revealed the top 40 baby names likely to be extinct in 2023, perfect for parents wanting a name for their child that they won’t share with anyone else in their class.

Alongside this, the research also reveals the baby names set to trend in 2023, based on expert trend analysis from government data of baby names stretching back to 1996. Without realising, you may choose a baby name you perceive to be unique when the name actually sits within the top 100 most popular choices the very next year.

To help unveil 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.
