The first name 
Denita

Denita is a first name for girls.

Denita – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Denita 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 Denita. That means that a girl named Denita 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 Denita.

Denita -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Denita a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 114 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1966 – at that time, it ranked #908. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Denita is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Denita, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

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

Denita has 6 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 six letters, the name Denita is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
