There are a host of baby names that are in danger of becoming extinct by 2023 as they've been so infrequently chosen by parents for their childrenCredit: Alamy Carolyn and Debra are among the girls' names on the listCredit: Alamy Government data showing the number of babies born with each name each year, from 1996 to 2022, was analysed by the Pregnacare team at Vitabiotics. Through their research, they were able to predict the 40 boys' names and 40 girls' names that are likely to go completely out of favour by 2023 if no new registrations are made in the coming months. That's because each of the names was only given to a maximum of three babies since 2020. On the girls' list are names such as Debra, Gladys, Meryl and Carolyn. Flossie, Kenzi, Olivine and Peggie are also at risk. While the boys' list includes monikers like Chandler, Walt, Stevie and Greg. Drake, Edmond, Kennie and Stone are also on the rundown. According to the Pregnacare research, some of the names on the lists were very popular with parents of babies born between 1946 and 1964 - the Baby Boom Generation - and 1965 and 1980, Generation X. Many parents are choosing incredibly unique names for their babies, with baby name guru SJ Strum recently revealing some of the most unusual she's heard of. "First up is the absolutely beautiful name Taliesin" she said in a YouTube video. "I just think Taliesin is just so ridiculously gorgeous." "Next up is Shepherd Atlas - two of my favourite names for boys. "I just think Shepherd is really wearable but underused and the name Shep is so gorgeous….I just think the names go so perfectly together." GIRLS 1. Averly 2. Brydie 3. Carolyn 4. Cecile 5. Cheryl 6.
