The first name 
Ilina

Ilina is a first name for girls.

Ilina – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Ilina in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Ilina in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Ilina by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Ilina ranks at #8,605. That means there are 8,604 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.

Ilina

Ilina has 5 letters 
and begins with an I

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an I. 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 Ilina 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.

That means that since 1.7% of all girls’ names begin with an I, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names that begin with an I, which are quite popular

Other names with
