The first name 
Alynah

Alynah is a first name for girls.

Alynah – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Alynah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Alynah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Alynah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Alynah ranks at #9,034. That means there are 9,033 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 Alynah.

Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 403,052 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Alynah.
