Isabella is one of the most common names in the U.S. – in all states combined, 366,683 women would currently turn around if you called out ISABELLA really loud. Across all states and age groups, this lands Isabella on position 97 in our SmartGenius ranking of the top female names – of course, the current popularity as a baby name for newborns looks somewhat different, as you can see from the statistics above. With so many women named Isabella, it’s no surprise that the name is widely used in every single state in the U.S., but would you have guessed that it’s especially popular in Nevada? Here, 0,795% of all female residents bear the name Isabella – that is a total of 3,480 women with this popular name and no other state has as many women named Isabella relative to its population. But that’s not all the popularity: in Nevada Isabella belongs to the top 10 of all womens names – the 3,480 elevate their name up to place #8 in the SmartGenius ranking of the most common female names for Nevada.
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 eight letters, the name Isabella is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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
