Linette – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Linette in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Linette in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Linette by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Linette ranks at #6,957. That means there are 6,956 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.
