Baby names associated with intelligence are dying out, study reveals - so, is yours at risk of extinction?

It's one of the most difficult decisions a new parent can make – what shall we call our baby? Now, a huge analysis has revealed that names associated with intelligence are dying out, while those linked to beauty, elegance or strength are on the up. The study, carried out by The Economist, scrutinised the names of nearly 400 million infants born in Britain and the US over the last 143 years. Researchers used a large language model – the type of AI that powers the likes of ChatGPT – for their analysis. They fed it with an enormous amount of text taken from the internet and asked it to identify the five most common terms linked with each name.
