ONS data showed some names are becoming extremely rare, including Fifi, Marvel, Saffi and Elke for girls and Drake, Esteban, Wiley and Vincentas for boys, The Mirror revealed.

Play Like Mum searched through the data to find the top rarest names, with just a handful of babies being given them in the year 2020.

While some of the names might sound quite alternative, there are a few that might surprise readers. For instance, Beverley and Cheryl were included on the list of 50 rarest names for girls.
