From North and Blue ivy, to Bunny’ and ‘Otter’ (yes, really!), people have been going to crazy new lengths to ensure that their baby girl has a truly unique name.
But, as it turns out, we need’t get so inventive with our monikers.
Instead, we can just look back at some of the most popular names of the 60s and 70s… because they’re in desperate need of saving.
Resurfaced data from the Office of National Statistics has revealed that some of the UK’s most iconic retro baby girl names are falling rapidly out of fashion.
So much so that they could be extinct in just a few years. Eep.
Take a look at the names that have fallen from grace below.
