Once-popular baby names now in danger of becoming extinct

Baby names have always come in and out of fashion - but many once-popular monikers stand on the edge of extinction.

Language learning platform Babbel has analysed a century of baby-name records from the Office for National Statistics to find out which are in danger of disappearing.

They cross-referenced these names 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), reports the Mirror.
