Dany is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Dany is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Dany. In the SmartGenius ranking, Dany is #3,100 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Dany.
If your name is Dany your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Dany has never ranked higher than position 1,337 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Dany for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1954 to give 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 Dany because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Dany was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Dany is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 33 times in the entire USA. So a Dany of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Dany. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 273 Americans who bear this name. And these 273 men and boys named Dany live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan and New Jersey. In the other 41 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men 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 Dany lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Dany 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 boys and men named Dany relative to its male population is Florida. And even there, only one male in 93,979 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Dany.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 8.5% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J and A are more common for boys' names.
With four letters, the name Dany is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. 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.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all boys' names start with a D, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the boys’ names starting with D is David.
If your name is Dany 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Dany, you can simply say:
