4. Elaine
Whereas Elaine has not managed to in recent years.
5. Linda
An extremely popular choice in the seventies, it’s all but fallen out of favour.
6. Susan
Did you know that Susan meant flower? Sadly, other flora-inspired names have take its place, like Daisy, Poppy and Lily.
7. Ronald
Performing slightly better than Norman and Elaine, Ronald manages to (just about) get a place in the top 2000.
8. Carol
No one went for Carol in 2014, and it’s since failed to rank highly.
9. Janet
Once a royal favourite in Scotland (albeit 500 years ago), the popularity of this name has been in decline since the 1960s.
10. Nigel
While you may know a Nigel or two, as a name it’s fallen outside the top 2,000.
11. Donna
Meaning “woman” in Italian, Donna has been surpassed in popularity by a whopping 3,500-odd more names.
12. Barry
In the UK, Barry has become the 2,079th most chosen name, though it’s apparently still popular in Australia.
13. Debbie
Debbie took the 2,464th spot in the 2014 baby names chart.
