#14 - this is the highest position Beverly has ever reached. Most names never manage to reach such high popularity in even one of the 143 years of records.The last time Beverly reached this top position was in the last century, in 1937, when 9,729 newborn girls were named Beverly. But as our statistics show, Beverly has not always been a popular name: in some years of records, lastly in the year 1896, it was either not given to newborns at all or less than 5 times (a name is only included in the official statistics if it is given at least 5 times in a year). Even today it's not at the peak of its popularity, nevertheless Beverly is still the first choice of some parents every year as the most beautiful first name for their newborn daughter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Beverly was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 221 newborns were given the name Beverly, making them rank #1,008. Although the name Beverly was more popular in the last century than it is today, it is still common and for some parents it is the name of choice for their daughter. So the chances of an encounter with a young Beverly are still there in our contemporary times.
Wherever you go, wherever you live – there’s a good chance to meet Beverly. Because: There are women and girls named Beverly in every state in the USA. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Beverly is definitely something very special. In some regions it even makes it into the top 100 of the most popular female first names, for example in South Dakota, where Beverly ranks on place 33. The greatest chance of meeting Beverly, however, is in Vermont, where one in 183 girls and women bears this beautiful name – that is far above average – in the entire USA it is only one in 414 women and girls and in Nevada, where the name is least represented in relation to the population, you even have to ask an average of 1,198 women and girls for their name before you once get Beverly as an answer.
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 Beverly 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.
