The first name 
Jaqualyn

Jaqualyn is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.

Jaqualyn – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Jaqualyn 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 boy in 100,000 has been named Jaqualyn. That means that a boy named Jaqualyn is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his 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 Jaqualyn.

Jaqualyn -
at home in

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Jaqualyn, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in . However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Jaqualyn living in one state or another. (If your name is Jaqualyn 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 580,271 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Jaqualyn. So if your name is Jaqualyn, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Jaqualyn already makes you quite special.

Jaqualyn has 8 letters 
and begins with a J

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is the most popular first letter for boys’ names. 10.1% of all common boys’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in boys’ names is A.

With eight letters, the name Jaqualyn 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 if 10.1% of all boys’ names start with a J, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the boys’ names that begin with the letter J, the name James is the most common.
