Lassie is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Lassie has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Lassie. That means that a girl named Lassie is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lassie.
Is the name Lassie a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1891 – at that time, it landed at position 683 with 14 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Lassie is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Lassie, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lassie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The first name Lassie is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 202 Americans in total bear this name. And these 202 women are located in only five states: Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Lassie and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Lassie in relation to it’s female population is Tennessee. And yet even there, only one in 27,757 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Lassie.
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. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With six letters, the name Lassie is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Lassie 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...
