ROGER is at risk of dying out as a name, a study has found.
The moniker given to 007 actor Roger Moore and Switzerland tennis ace Roger Federer is seldom selected for newborns nowadays.
Piers — as in Piers Morgan — Clifford, Clive, Daryl, Dwayne, Dwight, Elliot, Hubert, Leslie, Maurice, Norman, Royston and Vernon make up the 14 at most risk of vanishing, researchers say.
Bertha, Gertrude, Maud and Phyllis are also living on borrowed time, the study suggests.
Barbara, Doreen, Doris, Glenda Kerry, Marjorie, Muriel, Pauline, Tina and Tonya, could join them if trends continue.
Parenting site BabyCentre UK pinpointed the current 14 most unpopular names for boys and girls after checking name records for newborns in 2021.
