Denisse -
keeping with the times

Denisse is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Denisse cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #781 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2020. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Denisse, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Denisse seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Denisse was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Denisse has 7 letters 
and begins with a D

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 Denisse 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.
