The first name 
Hilarie

Hilarie is a first name for girls.

Hilarie – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Hilarie 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 Hilarie. That means that a girl named Hilarie 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 Hilarie.

Hilarie -
at home in California, New York and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Hilarie, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California, New York and Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Hilarie living in one state or another (if your name is Hilarie and you live outside of California, New York and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 697,481 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Hilarie. So, if your name is Hilarie it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Hilarie already makes you special.

Hilarie has 7 letters 
and begins with an H

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 seven letters, the name Hilarie has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.

H, i, l, a, r, i and e

If you take all the letters in the name Hilarie – H, i, l, a, r, i and e – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Hilaire.
