Indy is a unisex first name, but it's given significantly more often to girls than boys.
Few children have been named Indy in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 children are currently called Indy. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Indy at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Indy is number *** on the list of most common first names.
In fact, the name Indy did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Indy seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,653, 315 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Indy, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Indy was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is quite rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.6% of all common first names in the US begin with I, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But I is by no means the rarest initial. While U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K.
With four letters, the name Indy 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.
From this follows that if 1.5% of all first names begin with an I, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
If your name is Indy 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Indy, you can simply say:
