Mickayla – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Mickayla in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Mickayla in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Mickayla by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Mickayla ranks at #6,125. That means there are 6,124 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 Mickayla.

Mickayla -
special from day one

In fact, the name Mickayla hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Mickayla wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,119, 160 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Mickayla, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

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

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.

On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
