Brie

Brie is a female first name.

When two girls called Brie meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Brie is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 girls have been named Brie.

If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Brie.

Brie -
special from day one

In fact, the name Brie hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Brie wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1980, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,129, 110 parents chose it in 1980 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Brie, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

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

Brie - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Brie a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 3,129, for a total of 44 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Brie seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Brie 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 Brie 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.

Other names with 
B, r, i and e

If you take all the letters in the name Brie – B, r, i and e – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Brei or Beri.
