Mame is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Mame in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Mame in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Mame by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Mame ranks at #7,869. That means there are 7,868 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Mame.
Is the name Mame a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1881 – at that time, it landed at position 430 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 Mame 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 Mame, 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 Mame was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Welcome, Mame, to 2022. Even if your highest rank is long ago, 9 parents welcomed a new Mame to earth that year. That makes Mame ranking on position 9,013 among newborn girls in the SmartGenius statistics. If you know someone named Mame who was born in 2022, you know someone truly special.
The first name Mame is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 94 Americans in total bear this name. And these 94 women are located in only three states: Georgia, Maryland and New York (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 Mame 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 Mame in relation to it’s female population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 154,978 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Mame.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With four letters, the name Mame is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
If your name is Mame 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...
