The first name 
Bee

Bee is a unisex first name, but it has been primarily given to girls for a number of years.

Bee is a very rare first name!

At least in the US, the name Bee is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Bee each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Bee will meet someone with the same name. So, Bee is a very special name!

You won't believe all there is 
to discover about the name
 
Bee

Bee has 3 letters 
and begins with a B

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter B is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for given names: 3.7% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With only three letters, the name Bee is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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 with 3.7%, B as the first letter in given names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average.

Other names with 
B, e and e

If you take all the letters in the name Bee – B, e and e – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Ebe.
