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.)

According to data out of the UK, some of the classic and unique baby boy names of the early 20th century are now so rare, they stand a very good chance of becoming fully extinct.
Here are 20 of the soon-to-disappear boys names.
1. Bertram
2. Cecil
3. Clarence
4. Clive
5. Cyril
6. Dean
The words, 'Baby Cyril' may never be heard ever again. Good thing? Bad thing? We're not sure...
7. Dennis
8. Derek
9. Duncan
10. Ernest
11. Gary
12. Geoffrey
13. Horace
14. Leonard
15. Malcolm

16. Neville
17. Nigel
18. Norman
19. Roy
20. Wayne
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?
