Jerrilyn is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Jerrilyn 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 Jerrilyn. That means that a girl named Jerrilyn 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 Jerrilyn.
Is the name Jerrilyn a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 86 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1942 – at that time, it ranked #780. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Jerrilyn is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Jerrilyn, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jerrilyn 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 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.

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.

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...
