The first name 
Akayla

Akayla is a female first name.

Akayla – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Akayla in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Akayla in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Akayla by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Akayla ranks at #4,835. That means there are 4,834 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 Akayla.

Although the name never ranked higher than #1,811, 104 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names.
