Laina is a female first name.
Laina is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,881 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,880 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Laina.
While Laina isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to be attracting more and more parents in the 21st century. In 2014 the name Laina reached its highest popularity with #1,629 in our ranking of all female first names. Because it's so exquisite, moms and dads haven't always thought of naming their daughter Laina (or at least not more than four in some years as there must be at least five girls named Laina to appear in the official statistics). Using these criteria, the first name Laina has been given to babies in 79 of the 143 years since records began, making girls with this name still very special today.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter.

With five letters, the name Laina 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 with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Laina 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...
