A man with an 'extinct' name says he hopes it will make a comeback - as he still believes it is "cool". Graeme Currie's first name was highlighted in a 2022 study as being extinct - which, it is claimed, means it has died out in recent years.
But the retail assistant doesn't believe that makes it uncool - and says he is more than happy with his name. Graeme, 34, said: “I think more people should be named Graeme. I think it’s a kind of cool name.
“I was noticing a lot of younger people had different names and it was like Graeme seemed to be rarer. I think it’s always good to encourage the older names like Graeme, Guy and Greg.”
