The first name 
Ailene

Ailene is a first name for girls.

Ailene – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Ailene in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Ailene in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Ailene by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Ailene ranks at #7,140. That means there are 7,139 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Ailene.
