Research by Gurgle.com suggests that some traditional names such as Edna and Norman are in danger of dying out in England and Wales.
(There were 1,048 babies named Gertrude in 1907 but none in 2005. Baby Normans declined from 1,991 to two, one in Shropshire and one in Tyne and Wear.
The girl's names that were out of fashion are: Gertrude, Edna, Ethel, Irene, Ada
Norah and Olive. Unfashionable boy's names are: Norman, Walter, Percy, Harold, Ernest, Herbert and Clifford.)
