These are the LEAST popular baby names of 2016 so far
Parenting and baby info site BabyCentre released its list of the most unloved baby names so far this year
A new poll has ranked the most unpopular baby names of 2016 - and some of them may surprise you.
The latest survey of names by parenting site shows the five most unloved for boys are Bertram, Cecil, Clarence, Clive and Cyril.
For girls, it seems we've completely fallen out of love with the name Angela - followed by Beverley, Carol, Debra and Diane.
BabyCentre compiled the list by looking at which names hadn't had any registrations so far in 2016 - but were registered in 2015.
Sarah Redshaw, managing editor of BabyCentre, said: “It’s inevitable that as some names rise in popularity, others fall out of fashion. The question is will they die out completely, or experience a revival in the future?
“It may not seem the obvious option, but if new parents want to make sure their baby has a name that stands out from the crowd this year, they should look to names like Paula, Debra and Elaine that were popular in the 60s, 70s and 80s for girls.
“For boys, names that peaked in popular as early as the turn of the last century – like Cyril, Horace and Bertram could be unique choices.”
