Lacy is a unisex first name, but it has been primarily given to girls for a number of years.
Few children have been named Lacy in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 children are currently called Lacy. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Lacy at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Lacy is number *** on the list of most common first names.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their child Lacy annualy. This means that there have been kids named Lacy who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus people named Lacy have consistently been special. The name became especially popular in the last quarter of the last century and there was one year in particular when parents of Generation X and Generation Y rather came up with the idea of naming their child Lacy: in 1983, it holds its present record of #467 in the ranking of the most popular first names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lacy was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Lacy has never been ranked higher than #467. In 2022, it rivaled the 4,564 names that preceded it on the list. In total, 68 children named Lacy were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Lacy were born, there have been 617 newborns who received this name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is quite common as an initial letter for first names. To be precise, 5.5% of all given names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K.
With four letters, the name Lacy is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
Therefore: As 5.5% of all first names start with an L, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Lacy 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...
