Milly 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 1,709 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,708 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer.

This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Milly in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado or Florida. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Milly live in California – here, one in 48,735 bears this beautiful 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 Milly 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.
