These Are The Baby Names Set for Extinction in 2018
Say goodbye to these once-trendy names…
8 August 2018
When it comes to baby names we often discuss the most popular, unique names and names inspired by trends, traditions and cultures –but, rarely do we talk about the names falling from favour. As parenting expert’s Bounty have sourced the names that are set to disappear in 2018, we look through the list of old-fashioned baby names which could be worth a revival?
If your name’s on the list, you can now consider yourself unique, as traditional names such as Cecelia and Carl are expected to fade –which isn’t really a surprise. Yet, there are some names that might shock and even inspire you, particularly if you want to give your child a completely different and rare name, so take note as these names could ironically increase in popularity again!
