Lennis -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Lennis your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Lennis never ranked higher than position 1,830 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their newborn Lennis. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1898 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Lennis because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

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