Beyonce is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Beyonce in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Beyonce in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Beyonce by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Beyonce ranks at #7,953. That means there are 7,952 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 Beyonce.
You may not know anyone named Beyonce, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 26 states are home to women and girls named Beyonce. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Beyonce living in one state or another. If your name is Beyonce and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Arizona, which has the most people named Beyonce relative to the population, you still have to ask 29,934 women and girls their names before you hear Beyonce as an answer just once.
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 Beyonce 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.
If your name is Beyonce 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Beyonce, you can simply say:
Butterfly
Elephant
Yoyo
Orange
Nut
Cat
