… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Dalylah is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Dalylah. In the SmartGenius ranking, Dalylah is #4,061 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 Dalylah.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Dalylah, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Dalylah living in one state or another (if your name is Dalylah and you live outside of California and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 222,581 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Dalylah. So, if your name is Dalylah it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Dalylah already makes you special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is quite common as an initial letter for girls' names.

With seven letters, the name Dalylah 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.

Therefore: As 5.6% of all girls' names start with D, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with a D, Dorothy is the most common.
