While more old-fashioned and traditional baby names have seen a huge rise in popularity recently, it seems some are now at risk of becoming extinct.
According to The Sun, a recent survey has revealed that some names are disappearing completely because new parents aren’t picking them for their little ones.
If you’re having a baby this year and choose the celebrity moniker Roald or Cilla, then you might just be saving those names from the brink of extinction. But with Cilla: The Musical launching next September and the return of Blind Date to our screens, we predict a lorra, lorra, baby Cillas coming to a maternity hospital near you soon…
