Cocks are slowly becoming extinct in Britain, a survey of out-of-favour surnames reveals.

The number of people named Cock has plunged 75 per cent in 125 years.

There are also fewer Handcocks and Glasscocks. And Willy, once big in Taunton, Somerset, has flopped too.

Hickinbottom and Shufflebottom have been given the bum’s rush.

Blackburn has fewer Nutters — and there aren’t so many Daft folk in Nottingham.

Glasgow’s Smellie army has shrunk too, according to the research by University College London.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY....

There's a guy in Birmingham by the name of Richard Head, and he really, truly goes by Dick.

His wife is Mimi. And she's the president of Ram Tool Company.

I couldn't even begin to make this stuff up.
