November is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name November is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named November. In the SmartGenius ranking, November is #3,295 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named November.
In fact, the name November did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), November seemed to be more popular than ever in 2020. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,583, 56 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is November, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name November was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name November a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #3,229 - with a total of 42 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The first name November is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 25 Americans in total bear this name. And these 25 women are located in only four states: California, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is November and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named November in relation to it’s female population is Tennessee. And yet even there, only one in 638,409 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called November.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With eight letters, the name November is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
If your name is November and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
