Arly is a female first name, but it has increasingly been given to boys for a number of years.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Arly in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Arly in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Arly by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Arly ranks at #9,641. That means there are 9,640 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 Arly.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Arly are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Arly is registered in 12 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Arly live in New Jersey, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 76,521 would turn around if you called the name Arly across New Jersey.
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 four letters, the name Arly is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Arly 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...
