How this list is built

Ranked by how far each name has fallen between 2020 and 2025. Only names that were inside the top 1,000 in 2020 are eligible, so this is about recognisable names losing ground, not rare names disappearing.

Ranks come from U.S. births, counted separately for girls and boys. A name used fewer than 5 times in a year isn’t published for that year, so “unranked” means uncommon, not unused.
