This is in the same category as Ebony: names that enjoyed a brief vogue pretty much exclusively with black families and then just fell out of fashion. I think Ebony was much more popular, and I would bet the reason behind that is that the hog right in the middle of Mahogany as well as the fact it doesn't really roll off the tongue very smoothly is the reason.
I love Ebony but don't like Mahogany. Because of the hog.
