Conception is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Conception 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 Conception. That means that a girl named Conception 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 Conception.
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 Conception. Girls named Conception have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,446 Conception ranked higher than ever in 1928. By comparison, there have been 83 years in which the first name Conception 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 Conception 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 Conception was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Conception is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 225 Americans in total bear this name. And these 225 women are located in only four states: Arizona, California, Hawaii and Texas (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 Conception 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 Conception in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 68,326 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Conception.
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 Conception 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.
If your name is Conception 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...
