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 #3,378 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.
Meeting a woman or girl named November is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named November can be found in only three: California, Indiana and Ohio. No other state currently has residents named November. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called November living in one state or another. (If your name is November and you live outside of California, Indiana or Ohio, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a November is in Indiana, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Indiana, only 0.00014% of all female residents are called November – that’s just one in 711,875! And even in all the states, California, Indiana and Ohio, combined there are only a total of 20 women going by that name. So, if your name is November, chances are you will never meet another woman sharing your beautiful first name.
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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name November, you can simply say:
Nut
Orange
Violin
Elephant
Mouse
Butterfly
Elephant
Rocket
