Baby name experts said: “It's to be expected that some names begin to get out of fashion or popularity over time, whether that be an association with the name or just that it has been so overly used that it is no longer desired by new parents.

“While some names will always be firm favourites and are ever-lasting, there are certain names you wouldn't expect people to fall out of love with but that is the nature of choosing baby names."
