It may only be coincidence, but as Britney Spears rose in popularity from bubblegum princess to queen of pop, so did the popularity of the baby name "Britney." In the early 90s, it enjoyed top 10 status, even reaching a respectable number four. Even as late as 1997, the name was still in the top 20. Today, it's nowhere to be found and has been replaced by names like Ava, Abigail, Cailyn, Madeline, and Isabella.

Of course, the popularity of baby names change with the times, so who knows? Maybe when Britney finally makes her comeback, or at least stops having her saddest moments televised on national TV, we'll find that there's a whole new generations of little Britneys running around.

Did you consult the "most popular" lists before naming your child?
