France is a unisex first name, but it's given significantly more often to girls than boys.
At least in the US, the name France is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named France each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called France will meet someone with the same name. So, France is a very special name!
If your name is France your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name France never ranked higher than position 1,553 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring France. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1918 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named France because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name France was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, France still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named France who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter F is quite rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.3% of all common first names in the US begin with an F. By the way, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.
With six letters, the name France 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 1.5% of all first names begin with an F, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
If your name is France 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 France, you can simply say:
