📜 Baden Through the Generations
Baden is a genuinely modern name that didn't register on US birth records until relatively recently, and it's left a compact but interesting footprint. With only 393 total births recorded across all available data, this name remains firmly in the "very rare" category. Its peak came in 2004, when 39 babies were given the name, but it's been on a declining trend since then. The age breakdown tells a striking story: a whopping 99% of people named Baden are under 30, with just 5 individuals falling in the 30-60 range and zero over 60. That gives the name an average bearer age of just 18, making it one of the younger-skewing names you'll find. Globally, there are about 3,963 living bearers, placing it at world rank 111,078. It's most commonly found outside the US in Indonesia, which adds an unexpected international dimension. With 388 estimated living bearers in America today, Baden remains a quietly distinctive choice that hasn't quite caught mainstream momentum.
