BABY name trends come and go, meaning these once-classic monikers are now extinct.
Language school Babbel analysed the last century of records from the Office for National Statistics – and compared parents' 2020 choices with the 100 most popular names between 1914 and 1994.
And some much-loved names had already died out – so is yours on the list?
Babbel also noted the names which are "endangered" – with less than 10 newborns in 2020 – to warn Brits of the downturn in popularity.
When it came to little lads, Graeme, Horace, Iain, Leigh, Melvyn, Nigel and Royston were all extinct in 2020.
Meanwhile Bertha, Beverley, Carol, Carole, Doreen, Gail, Gertrude, Gillian, Glenys, Glynis, Hilary, Jeanette, Jill, Kay, Kerry, Lesley, Lindsay, Lyndsey, Lynne, Lynsey, Mandy, Maureen, Muriel and Phyllis had all died out for girls.
And you'll definitely know someone on the at-risk list, with Annette, Cheryl, Denise, Janet, Kirsty, Pamela, Suzanne and Tracey all making it.
They were joined by Beryl, Brenda, Carolyn, Dawn, Debbie, Debra, Diane Donna, Doris, Edna, Freda, Geraldine, Gladys, Gwendoline, Hilda, Janice, Jean, Jordan, Lindsey, Lorraine, Lynda, Lynn, Marian, Marion, Marjorie, Marlene, Maud, Mildred, Norma, Pauline, Sheila, Shirley, Thelma, Tracy, Toni and Yvonne.
As for endangered boys' names, Gary, Graham, Keith, and both Stewart and Stuart, are all on their way out.
Barry, Cecil, Clarence, Claude, Clifford, Cyril, Dale, Donald, Garry, Glen, Glenn, Gordon, Graham, Howard, Leslie, Neville, Norman, Rodney and Trevor were also on the list.
