Gwendoline -
once in a blue moon

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 Gwendoline. Girls named Gwendoline have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,116 Gwendoline ranked higher than ever in 1903. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Gwendoline 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 2015. In general, parents name their daughters Gwendoline 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 Gwendoline was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Gwendoline has 10 letters 
and begins with a G

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 ten letters, the name Gwendoline is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
