Mossie is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Recently, the name Mossie 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 Mossie. That means that a girl named Mossie 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 Mossie.
Is the name Mossie a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1892 – at that time, it landed at position 686 with 16 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Mossie 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 Mossie, 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 Mossie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Mossie born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn girls with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Mossie born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
Meeting a woman or girl named Mossie is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Mossie can be found in only two: Kentucky and Tennessee. No other state currently has residents named Mossie. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Mossie living in one state or another (if your name is Mossie and you live outside of Kentucky or Tennessee, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Mossie is in Kentucky, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Kentucky, only 0.00960% of all female residents are named Mossie – that’s just one in 10,415! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 346 women with that name. So, if your name is Mossie, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first 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 six letters, the name Mossie 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.
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 Mossie 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 Mossie, you can simply say:
