If celebrity baby names are anything to go by, it would seem that new mums and dads are looking far beyond the books to settle on the perfect moniker for their little one. As a result, some of the more traditional names appear to be ‘dying out’ – something which new statistics compiled by BabyCentre have proven.
Angela, Diane, Roy and Wayne are among the least popular names to give your baby in 2016, according to new statistics.
Compiled using this year’s birth records and data on once-popular traditional names, the lists threw out some interesting information.
Here is the list of the least popular girls’ names in Britain, in 2016:
Angela; Beverley; Carol; Debra; Diane; Donna; Doris; Elaine; Joanne; Maureen; Paula; Sally;
Sandra; Sharon; Sheila; Tracey; Wendy; Yvonne.
And here is the list of the least popular boys’ names in Britain, in 2016:
Bertram; Cecil; Clarence; Clive; Cyril; Dean; Dennis; Derek; Duncan; Ernest; Geoffrey; Horace;
Leonard; Malcolm; Neville; Nigel; Roy; Wayne.
Would you consider giving your little one a name from either of these lists, to bring it back into fashion?
