Baby Walt’s name is set to become extinct in 2023, but Mum Jess thinks “that’s awesome”. Auckland-based mum Jess Britten had not seen the news that her son Walt made the list of names heading for extinction, but when informed she said: “that’s awesome!”. But while baby Walt (full name Walter), who turns 1-year-old next week, had no name for about a week - Britten’s partner Warren Durling finally got Walt “over the line” and the family loves the old-fashioned name. And Britten’s thoughts on Walt featuring on the list of soon-to-be extinct names? “And his best friend’s Henry and I think, well that’s lovely they’ve both got old fashioned names.”Do you know a baby from the ‘extinct by 2023’ list?
