Lauren and Scott are among the unpopular baby names at risk of becoming extinct

Lauren, Scott and Andrew are among the names at risk of becoming extinct.

The Office for National Statistics have released a list of the most unpopular baby names in 2019 – and there are some solid names featuring.

Baby names do tend to come in and out of fashion, and in recent years there were even fears that the name Craig was beginning to die out.

But surely such a thing could never happen.

As reported in the Mirror, a host of familiar names feature on the latest lists though.

Take a look through them below to see if you feature.
