The first name 
Lossie

Lossie is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

Lossie – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Lossie 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 Lossie. That means that a girl named Lossie 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 Lossie.

Lossie -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Lossie a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 26 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1900 – at that time, it ranked #662. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Lossie is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Lossie, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

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

Lossie has 6 letters 
and begins with an L

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 Lossie 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.
