What Baby Names Are On The Decline This Year?
The girls names that fell from favour the most are royal family monikers Megan and Katie, which both plummeted over 100 places to positions 190 and 198 respectively. The once-popular name Lexi was down 26 places to position 91. Brooke, Maddison and Paige have also dropped out of the Top 100 this year.
Ironically, in 2020 the nation lost faith in choosing Faith as a name for baby girls. This year the name left the Top 100 to reside at position 125.
Falling from favour in the nation’s Top 20 favourite names for boys was Joshua, Logan and Ethan, names that now reside in turn at positions 25, 29 and 33.
Harvey was down 26 places to position 74, and the year also saw drops for Jayden (down 48 places to position 84) and Jake, along with more traditional names Luke, now at position 93, and Matthew, which is just holding on at 100.
