The more "conventional" way to get the name of the currently active/selected bookmark name is:

Selection.Bookmarks(1).Name

Since this appears to be a form field, it's also possible to get the name via that collection:

Selection.Range.FormFields(1).Name

In a comment the request is for the bookmark index, although the request in the Question is for the bookmark name... In any case, to get the bookmark index get the count of all bookmarks from the start of the document to the end of the selection. (Note that this gets the index of the last previous bookmark, which is not necessary in the selection):

bkmIndex = ActiveDocument.Range(0, Selection.Range.End).Bookmarks.Count
Debug.Print ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(bkmIndex).Name

Please note that Information(30) is an old Word Basic value (I had to look it up in 1995 literature) that has no official equivalent in the VBA object model. It still works for reasons of backwards compatibility, but in such cases there are no guarantees that it will continue to work.
