Coralyn is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Coralyn is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Coralyn. In the SmartGenius ranking, Coralyn is #3,220 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Coralyn.
If your name is Coralyn your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Coralyn never ranked higher than position 2,054 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Coralyn. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1936 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Coralyn because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Coralyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Coralyn still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 30 times in the entire U.S. So, a Coralyn from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Coralyn in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 95 women and girls named Coralyn, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 95 women and girls named Coralyn live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Florida, Massachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Coralyn. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Coralyn lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Coralyn and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Coralyn relative to its female population is Texas. And even there, only one in 373,517 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Coralyn.
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 Coralyn has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. 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.
If your name is Coralyn 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...
