Baby Names On The Brink Of Extinction Revealed

Peggy, Kiera, Nelson, and Buddy are all names on the brink of extinction, according to UK parenting resource, BabyCentre.

Experts say that the monikers on the decline this year also include celebrity-related picks, such as Bruno, after the singer, and Vivienne after the late designer.

Over the past year, names that once soared with popularity have dwindled, leading experts to class them as 'endangered'.

The near-extinct names were identified by examining the biggest declines between 2022 and 2023, and experts believe they will persist to drop throughout the year.

Faye Mingo, chief marketing officer at BabyCentre, told the Mirror: 'These names might have fallen out of popularity, but they could be the perfect choice for your new arrival if you want a distinct baby name. Though these names are familiar, they're likely to be the only child in their class with the name.'

Taking the top spot for the most 'endangered' boys' names for 2024 is Keanu.

The decline supports the notion of a diminish in celebrity-based names given the acclaimed Matrix actor, Keanu Reeves.

Surprisingly, Flo - a shortened spelling of Florence - is considered the most endangered name for girls.

Again, the decline could be associated with the up-and-coming actress, Florence Pugh, who was associated with the nickname 'Miss Flo' last year.
