Is Your Name Going Extinct? Check Out the Top 10 Names That Could Disappear

If you happen to know someone named Brooke, Blake, Brady, or Bradley, you may want to offer them either condolences or congratulations. These names are becoming increasingly rare, according to BabyCenter's data on name popularity. In fact, some names have experienced such a significant drop in popularity that BabyCenter fears they may eventually become extinct.

The trends that contribute to this decline in popularity include a move away from using last names as first names, such as Brady and Bradley. Additionally, names that end with the sound "aden" or "eden," like Aidan and Jaiden, are also declining in popularity.

Here are the top 10 girls' names and boys' names that may soon become a distant memory:

1. Brooke
2. Blake
