Bailie is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Bailie in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Bailie in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Bailie by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Bailie ranks at #7,140. That means there are 7,139 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 Bailie.
In fact, the name Bailie hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Bailie wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1997, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,296, 121 parents chose it in 1997 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Bailie, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Bailie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Bailie a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 8,408, for a total of 10 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Bailie seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Bailie 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 Bailie is registered in 19 states, among which are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Bailie live in Utah, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 40,275 would turn around if you called the name Bailie across Utah.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a B. This means that B as the first letter for girls' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Bailie is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.
Thus, if 3.2% of all girls’ names start with a B, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with B that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Barbara.
If your name is Bailie 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...
