Clarabelle -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Clarabelle a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 76 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1919 – at that time, it ranked #760. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Clarabelle is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Clarabelle, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

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

Clarabelle has 10 letters 
and begins with a C

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 ten letters, the name Clarabelle is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten 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.

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.
