Mazie is a first name for girls.
Mazie is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,381 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,380 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Mazie.
Mazie is not an overly common name, in fact in some of the last 143 years it has been given so infrequently that it doesn't even show up in our statistics (here a name is only recorded in those years in which it was given to newborns at least five times). This was, for example, most recently the case in 1988, where the name Mazie was given at most four times in the entire USA, perhaps even less or not even once. (If you are Mazie and were born in the USA in 1988, please get in touch with us!) Before that, however, there was a time when the name was significantly more popular - way back in the 19th century, Mazie even made it into the top 1,000 of our SmartGenius statistics of the most popular girls' names: In 1893, it ranked on position 332 - a popularity it has never reached again since then.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Mazie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Although the name Mazie has a changeful history, it has clearly arrived in the present. In 2022, the name was given by young parents to their newborn children a remarkable 237 times and thus landed on position 956 in the SmartGenius ranking of the currently most popular female first names. However, the name is still so rare that the 237 girls with the name Mazie, who are celebrating their second birthday this year, can rightly feel very special, because it is highly likely that in their kindergarten they will be the only children with this name.
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 five letters, the name Mazie is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 Mazie 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Mazie, you can simply say:
Mouse
Apple
Zebra
Igloo
Elephant
