Baby boys names on the decline
Once considered ‘edgy’, some unusual names are significantly dropping in popularity - making them a good choice if you’re looking for something less common. For example, Rocco has dropped 51 places and is only just within the top 200 boys’ names. Ashton has fallen from favour along with Evan and Zack.
Likewise, there are some traditional names that have significantly lost their popularity and would be a good choice if you’re looking for a traditional name that your little boy won’t need to share with several other classmates. For example, Ben has dropped 31 places and is now an outsider as the 100th most popular name as well as Spencer and Nathan falling more than 20 places each at number 176 and 104.
