Aline is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Aline 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 Aline. In the SmartGenius ranking, Aline is #3,360 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 Aline.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Aline annualy. This means that there have been girls named Aline who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Aline have consistently been special. A small flight of popularity was experienced by the name way back in the last century and in one particular year, parents liked Aline even more than any other time: in 1909, it holds its present record of #294 in the ranking of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Aline was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Aline has never been ranked higher than #294. In 2022, she rivaled the 3,437 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 38 girls named Aline were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Aline were born, there have been 27 newborns who received this name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With five letters, the name Aline is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Aline 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 Aline, you can simply say:

Lion
Igloo
