Delmy is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Delmy in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Delmy in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Delmy by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Delmy ranks at #7,592. That means there are 7,591 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Delmy.
In fact, the name Delmy hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Delmy wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1992, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,750, 25 parents chose it in 1992 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Delmy, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Delmy was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Delmy a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 6,991, for a total of 13 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Delmy seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Delmy, 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 Delmy living in one state or another (if your name is Delmy 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 76,086 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Delmy. So, if your name is Delmy it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Delmy 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. 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 five letters, the name Delmy is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 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 Delmy 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...
