These Gorgeous Baby Names Will Be Extinct In Two GenerationsAdd us as a preferred source on Google »
Last year a UK couple named their baby son Gary after they discovered the name, a favourite in the 1960s, was about to become extinct. Now a new list offers a wealth of options if you want your little darling to be one of a kind in the classroom. According to contributors to the Essential Baby Forum, there are some baby names which will all but disappear fro everyday use over the next two generations. The research is reinforced by figures from the NSW Government Popular Baby Name website, an online source that shows how the popularity of certain names have changed since 1900. Below are the boys and girls names that are said to be declining in popularity in recent years. We're taking this one with a pinch of salt seeing as a lot of familiar monikers feature. Girls
