Kelechi -
special from day one

In fact, the name Kelechi hardly fits the trend of first names. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Kelechi wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1995, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 5,405, 34 parents chose it in 1995 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kelechi, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

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