Unpopular baby names of 2021 revealed as they're set to disappear in the UK

It can be hard naming your wee one - it can't be too wild and you don't want it to be boring.

Maybe you want a unique name that nobody else has - North West and Blue Ivy for example - or maybe you just want a name and you don't care about what list it appears on.

But if you do care, and you don't want it to be on the unpopular list, it's maybe best to stay away from these names.

Why? Well data from the Office for National Statistics have identified 20 baby names most likely to disappear from use in the next few years and Flowercard have picked the top 10 girls and boys names set to become endangered.

Names including Ross, Ben and Courtney are among those at risk - sorry if you're a F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan!

Top 10 'endangered' girls names:

1. Kirsty

2. Jordan

3. Shauna

4. Shannon

5. Courtney

6. Lauren

7. Gemma

8. Jodie

9. Jade

10. Natasha

Top 10 'endangered' boys names:

1. Mitchell

2. Kieran

3. Ross

4. Brandon

5. Craig

6. Ben

7. Jordan

8. Callum

9. Kyle

10. Scott

Did your name make the list? Check out the full list below - and we're sorry if it did. But on the bright side, maybe your name will soon be classed as unique!
