[Opinions] Re: Boys names on the brink of extinction
Not sure what their criteria are because Preston, Bruno, Jameson, and Ryder are definitely not on the brink of extinction... In fact, they're at peak popularity right now.Leroy and Buddy I would agree with. I'm not sure Tiger was ever really used to begin with.Boy names actually on the brink of extinction:
Chester
Dewey
Donald
Elroy
Gerald
Herbert
Howard
Irving
Lester
Loren
Ray
Wilbur
Woodrow

I love Howard and like Elroy and Gerald. I can't wait for them to near extinction because I'm looking for some uncommon names. :D
I agree with most of the Boy names you mentioned that are actually on the brink of extinction, and in the case of Donald, I'm not sure because it's still in the top 1000, but I think it's soon fall out of the top 1000 and become a brink of extinction name.
I think Donald Trump will eventually kill the name.
The sooner, the better. It's one name I would love to see gone. It surprises me how it's still within the top 1000 due to the datedness of it alone.
