Charice is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Charice has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Charice. That means that a girl named Charice is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Charice.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Charice. Girls named Charice have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 2,035 Charice ranked higher than ever in 1970. By comparison, there have been 97 years in which the first name Charice has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Charice only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Charice was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Charice is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 33 Americans in total bear this name. And these 33 women are located in only four states: California, Michigan, New York and Ohio (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 Charice 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 Charice in relation to it’s female population is Michigan. And yet even there, only one in 577,353 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Charice.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for girls' names. This is because 6.0% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
With seven letters, the name Charice has a typical length for first names in the US.

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.
That means that with 6.0% of all girls' names that begin with a C, this first letter is much more common than the average of all letters. And which girls’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Carol.

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...
