Bradleigh is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Bradleigh is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Bradleigh. In the SmartGenius ranking, Bradleigh is #4,791 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 Bradleigh.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Bradleigh, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in Alabama and Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Bradleigh living in one state or another (if your name is Bradleigh and you live outside of Alabama and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 399,092 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Bradleigh. So, if your name is Bradleigh it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Bradleigh already makes you special.
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 nine letters, the name Bradleigh is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Bradleigh 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 Bradleigh, you can simply say:
Butterfly
Rocket
