The 20 baby names set to go extinct this year... is yours on the list?

"Classic and once-popular baby names are falling out of favor, with some at risk of disappearing entirely. A new report from BabyCenter, which tracks the names parents consider and choose for their newborns, analyzed the top 1,000 names to identify which have seen the steepest declines since 2024. Among girls, Charleigh, Mckinley, Prisha, Ezra, Sasha, Mía, Kenna, Kori, Dior and Shaikha are all slipping down the rankings, with Charleigh and Shaikha taking the hardest hits."

"Boys' names are also seeing dramatic drops. Kylian, Atharv, Enoch, Crue, Huxley, Salman, Camilo, Advik, Emmitt and Garrett have all declined significantly, with Kylian and Atharv now barely breaking the top 1,050. Names ending in -y are falling fastest for boys, with Huxley plummeting 296 spots. For girls, unique twists on familiar names, such as Maddison and Alivia, are losing favor, while Charleigh has tumbled the most, down 421 spots."

"Baby-naming consultant Colleen Slagen of NamingBebe.com told Nexstar that these names are on the brink of extinction, having only been trendy for a brief period 'Any name that jumps over 100 spots a year in popularity ... in my mind, that's the sign of a name that's going to go out of fashion,' said Slagen. She recommended that expecting parents check the Social Security Administration's annual list of the nation's most popular baby names."

BabyCenter analyzed the top 1,000 baby names and identified the steepest declines in popularity since 2024. Girls slipping most include Charleigh, Mckinley, Prisha, Ezra, Sasha, Mía, Kenna, Kori, Dior and Shaikha, with Charleigh and Shaikha taking the hardest hits. Boys with large drops include Kylian, Atharv, Enoch, Crue, Huxley, Salman, Camilo, Advik, Emmitt and Garrett, with Kylian and Atharv now barely breaking the top 1,050. Names ending in -y are falling fastest for boys, and unique spellings and twists on familiar names are losing favor. Colleen Slagen says jumps over 100 spots signal names going out of fashion and recommends checking Social Security name lists.
