Ilma is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Ilma 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 Ilma. That means that a girl named Ilma 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 Ilma.
Is the name Ilma a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1885 – at that time, it landed at position 866 with 6 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Ilma is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Ilma, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ilma was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Welcome, Ilma, to 2022. Even if your highest rank is long ago, 7 parents welcomed a new Ilma to earth that year. That makes Ilma ranking on position 10,613 among newborn girls in the SmartGenius statistics. If you know someone named Ilma who was born in 2022, you know someone truly special.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Ilma, 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 Ilma living in one state or another (if your name is Ilma 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 2,241,104 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Ilma. So, if your name is Ilma it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Ilma already makes you special.
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 four letters, the name Ilma is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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
If your name is Ilma 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...
