Ebbie is a unisex first name, but it has been primarily given to girls for a number of years.
At least in the US, the name Ebbie is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Ebbie each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Ebbie will meet someone with the same name. So, Ebbie is a very special name!
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Ebbie. Children named Ebbie have made themselves scarce and you might rather know them from history books: Reaching pos. 1,433 Ebbie ranked higher than ever in 1882. By comparison, there have been 76 years in which the first name Ebbie has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their newborns Ebbie only once in a blue moon, so people with this name can consider themselves quite special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ebbie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for given names: 3.8% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of given names are A and J, while U and X are the least common initials of first names.
With five letters, the name Ebbie 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.
Thus, it follows that with 3.8% of all first names starting with an E, this initial letter occurs exactly as often as all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Ebbie 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 Ebbie, you can simply say:
