Least popular baby names in UK that are 'extinct' - and those at risk of disappearing

Over the last few years, several names have proved the most popular with parents, including Olivia and Amelia, Muhammad and Noah.

As these monikers have risen in popularity, naturally some have gone the other way - and some have even disappeared from the lists altogether.

Language learning platform Babbel has analysed a century of baby-name records from the Office for National Statistics and cross-referenced with newly-released 2020 data in order to identify names that were once common - appearing in the lists of 100 most popular for newborns between 1914 and 1994 - but are now considered extinct (with no appearance in 2020).
