Bliss is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Bliss is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Bliss. In the SmartGenius ranking, Bliss is #2,896 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Bliss.
If your name is Bliss your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Bliss never ranked higher than position 1,063 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Bliss. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1887 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Bliss because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Bliss was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Bliss still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 54 times in the entire U.S. So, a Bliss from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Bliss are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Bliss is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Louisiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Bliss live in Texas, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 84,252 would turn around if you called the name Bliss across Texas.
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 five letters, the name Bliss is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
If your name is Bliss 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...
