Gae is a female first name.
Recently, the name Gae 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 Gae. That means that a girl named Gae 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 Gae.
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 Gae. Girls named Gae have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,545 Gae ranked higher than ever in 1946. By comparison, there have been 92 years in which the first name Gae 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 daughters Gae only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Gae was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Gae is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 43 Americans in total bear this name. And these 43 women are located in only five states: California, Illinois, New York, Utah and Washington (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Gae and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Gae in relation to it’s female population is Utah. And yet even there, only one in 233,596 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Gae.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.
With only three letters, the name Gae is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.
If your name is Gae 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 Gae, you can simply say:
