The first name 
Baillie

Baillie is a first name for girls.

Baillie – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Baillie has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Baillie. That means that a girl named Baillie is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Baillie.

Baillie -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Baillie is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 30 Americans in total bear this name. And these 30 women are located in only three states: California, Illinois and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Baillie and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Baillie in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 560,276 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Baillie.

Baillie has 7 letters 
and begins with a B

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 seven letters, the name Baillie has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
