The baby name experts at BabyCenter have identified over 40 names that are declining in popularity and may not be as common in 2024.
Rebekah Wahlberg, baby name trends specialist at BabyCenter wrote, “There was a surge in boys’ names in the early 2000s that ended with the sound ‘aden’ as the trend gained popularity.”
“Among boys and girls, common last names that became popular as first names have been declining in popularity,” she added.
Some examples of declining names are Aidan, Raiden, Mckenzie, Bradley, Brady, Clayton, Hendrix, Preston, Baylor, and Reid.
About “Bradley”, Wahlberg said, “This once-popular boy’s name has now featured on this list for a second year in a row, first falling 77 spots from 2021 to 2022, and now falling another 104 spots in 2023.”
“Once-popular ‘80s and ’90s girls’ names such as Amanda, Angela, Brooke, Diana and Michelle have dropped in ranking,” according to BabyCenter.
“Brooke is the name that has dropped the most for girls, falling 198 spots,” the report added.
The data is based on the top 500 baby names for each gender from BabyCenter parents.
