Goldie is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Goldie is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,325 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,324 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 23,536 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Goldie. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Goldie annualy. This means that there have been girls named Goldie who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Goldie have consistently been special. A small flight of popularity was experienced by the name way back in the last century and in one particular year, parents liked Goldie even more than any other time: in 1904, it holds its present record of #110 in the ranking of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Goldie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Goldie has never been ranked higher than #110. In 2022, she rivaled the 727 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 343 girls named Goldie were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Goldie were born, there have been 42 newborns who received this name.
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 six letters, the name Goldie 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.
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 Goldie 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...
