The first name 
England

England is a female first name, but it has increasingly been given to boys for a number of years.

England – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named England in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named England in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named England by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, England ranks at #6,906. That means there are 6,905 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.

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 girls' names: 3.9% of all common 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, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With seven letters, the name England 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.

That means that with 3.9%, E as the first letter in girls' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the girls' names that start with an E, Elizabeth is the most common.
