Brookelyn -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Brookelyn 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), Brookelyn seemed to be more popular than ever in 2006. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,004, 243 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Brookelyn, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

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

Brookelyn -
special, but at home in many states

You may not know anyone named Brookelyn, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 32 states are home to women and girls named Brookelyn. (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 Brookelyn living in one state or another. If your name is Brookelyn 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 Tennessee, which has the most people named Brookelyn relative to the population, you still have to ask 24,554 women and girls their names before you hear Brookelyn as an answer just once.

Brookelyn has 9 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 nine letters, the name Brookelyn 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.
