Jennalyn is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Jennalyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jennalyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Jennalyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Jennalyn ranks at #8,560. That means there are 8,559 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jennalyn.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Jennalyn. Girls named Jennalyn have made themselves scarce. But some parents have recently gotten a taste for it: At No. 4,654 Jennalyn ranked higher than ever in 2005. By comparison, there have been 104 years in which the first name Jennalyn has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Jennalyn only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jennalyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Jennalyn, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and New York. 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 Jennalyn living in one state or another (if your name is Jennalyn and you live outside of California and New York, 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 276,165 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Jennalyn. So, if your name is Jennalyn it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Jennalyn already makes you special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names. That’s because 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With eight letters, the name Jennalyn 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.
This means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with the letter J, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Jennifer is the girls' name starting with J, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Jennalyn 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...
