Heela is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Heela in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Heela in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Heela by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Heela ranks at #9,590. That means there are 9,589 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Heela.
The first name Heela is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 20 Americans in total bear this name. And these 20 women are located in only three states: California, Texas and Virginia (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 Heela 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 Heela in relation to it’s female population is Virginia. And yet even there, only one in 690,645 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Heela.
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 five letters, the name Heela is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
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 Heela 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...
