Delaine is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
Recently, the name Delaine 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 Delaine. That means that a girl named Delaine 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 Delaine.
If your name is Delaine your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Delaine never ranked higher than position 1,011 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Delaine. 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 Delaine 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 Delaine was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Delaine still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Delaine who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Delaine are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Delaine is registered in 13 states, among which are Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Delaine live in Minnesota, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 33,067 would turn around if you called the name Delaine across Minnesota.
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. To be precise, 5.6% of all 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 Delaine 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.
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.
If your name is Delaine 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...
