The first name 
Bibi

Bibi is a first name for girls.

Bibi – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Bibi in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Bibi in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Bibi by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Bibi ranks at #6,103. That means there are 6,102 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 Bibi.

Bibi -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Bibi did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Bibi seemed to be more popular than ever in 2018. Although the name never ranked higher than #3,686, 34 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Bibi, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Bibi was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Bibi in 2022 – originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Bibi a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #3,797 - with a total of 33 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.

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

The first name Bibi is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 214 Americans in total bear this name. And these 214 women are located in only three states: California, New York 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 Bibi 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 Bibi in relation to it’s female population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 68,979 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Bibi.

Bibi has 4 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 four letters, the name Bibi is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.

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.
