The first name 
Aphrodite

Aphrodite is a first name for girls.

Aphrodite – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Aphrodite in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Aphrodite in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Aphrodite by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Aphrodite ranks at #6,594. That means there are 6,593 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 Aphrodite.

Aphrodite has 9 letters 
and begins with an A

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 nine letters, the name Aphrodite is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.

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.
