While Laine 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 2019 the name Laine reached its highest popularity with #1,895 in our ranking of all first names. Because it's so exquisite, moms and dads haven't always thought of naming their child Laine (or at least not more than four in some years as there must be at least five newborns named Laine to appear in the official statistics). Using these criteria, the first name Laine has been given to babies in 77 of the 143 years since records began, making kids with this name still very special today.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Laine was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 214 babies were born with the name Laine. This puts the name in rank 2,135 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 1,544,869 newborns was named Laine that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Laine has been and remains marvelously unusual!
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 five letters, the name Laine 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.
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 Laine 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...
