Hilde is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Hilde in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Hilde in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Hilde by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Hilde ranks at #9,079. That means there are 9,078 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 Hilde.
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 Hilde. Girls named Hilde have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 2,603 Hilde ranked higher than ever in 1929. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Hilde 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 2012. In general, parents name their daughters Hilde 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 Hilde was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Hilde, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in . 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 Hilde living in one state or another (if your name is Hilde and you live outside of , 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 1,193,332 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Hilde. So, if your name is Hilde it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Hilde already makes you special.
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 Hilde 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 Hilde 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...
