Saint, North, Apple, Blue: these are the names that define the newest generation.

The boy names that defined a much older generation are now gathering so much dust that they’re set to actually become extinct.

Yes, folks. The name, ‘Nigel’ is on the list. (Post continues after gallery.)

Who else feels sad? I feel like we've lost some really important names here.

Anyway, let's be optimistic. Maybe the modern world will tired of calling their children after adjectives and inanimate objects and decide to get back to basics with classic names like 'Gary', or 'Roy'.

Hey, if midriff tops and bell-bottom jeans were able to make their way back into mainstream society, who knows what's possible?
