The first name 
Kaili

Kaili is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

When two girls called Kaili meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Kaili is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Kaili. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kaili is #3,144 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kaili.

Kaili -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Kaili 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), Kaili seemed to be more popular than ever in 2003. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,157, 171 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kaili, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kaili was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Kaili in 2022 – originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Kaili a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #4,122 - with a total of 29 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.

Kaili has 5 letters 
and begins with a K

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 7.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, S and M are more common for girls' names.

With five letters, the name Kaili is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.

That means that if 7.5% of all girls' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the girls' names that begin with a K, Karen is the most common.

Other names with
