Scarlett, Harvey and Jayden are the baby names that have fallen out of favour the most over the past five years, according to new research.
While other popular monikers like Jessica and Samuel have fallen from grace, names belonging to several key members of the Royal Family are also slipping down the rankings too, as Harry, Elizabeth, Charlotte, William and Charles have all experienced a decline in popularity.
Online casino Slingo has analysed the most up-to-date data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) from 2016/17 to 2020/21 to determine which forenames could be fading into obscurity in years to come.
They’ve assessed the order of the top 100 baby names to identify those that could be going out of fashion after continually sliding down the popularity rankings over the last five years.
Jayden has fallen the furthest, slipping 37 places in five years, while other names to consistently drop over that same period include Harvey, Scarlett, Lilly, Georgia, Abigail and Holly.
