Haylie is a first name for girls.
Haylie 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 1,402 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,401 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Haylie.
Haylie is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Haylie cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #405 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2006. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Haylie, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Haylie seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Haylie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
59 babies were named Haylie in 2022 - that's 1 in 2,512,405 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Haylie ranked 2,546 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter H is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with H. 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 six letters, the name Haylie 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 1.7% of all girls' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the names that begin with an H, Helen is the most common.
If your name is Haylie 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...
