When it comes to baby names, there will always be the same ones that stay in fashion or the resurgence of once-forgotten characters that suddenly become more popular thanks to music, movies or TV shows. And while many parents want to name their baby something personal and unique, some names will gradually become less popular due to changing trends and birth rates. This is no different in 2022. Whether it is a baby boy or a baby girl name, some baby names UK are at risk of becoming extinct, and some have already been relegated to generations long ago. For example, the ever-popular Olivia, Amelia, Isla, Mai, George Mohammad, Oliver and Noah are holding steady at the top of the UK charts for baby names. While Harper, Grayson, Nova, Gianna and Mateo are proving popular for 200 mainly due to use by celebrities for their babies (Harper Seven - daughter of David and Victoria Beckham, for example) or due to the popularity of current celebrities. Predictions of incoming popular baby names in the UK include; Benedict, Daphne and Franchesca. But what about those baby names that have fallen out of favour for 2022? Are there really names that are so bad that modern parents refuse to name their children? And we're not talking about different spellings of the same name; whether you spell it Emily, Emmaleigh, Emillie, or Emilee, the pronunciation is still the same. We mean those names people deem so out of touch they have no place in the realm of modern baby names. While trends can indeed come and go, see the resurgence of names such as Ada, Ivy, Nora, and Freddie, once thought of as names only grandparents were called, these names have lost popularity to such an extent no one is naming their child them.
