Nalini is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Nalini in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Nalini in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Nalini by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Nalini ranks at #9,241. That means there are 9,240 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 Nalini.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Nalini. Girls named Nalini have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 5,233 Nalini ranked higher than ever before in 1983. By comparison, there have been 105 years in which the first name Nalini has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2017. In general, parents name their daughters Nalini only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nalini was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Nalini continues to be a precious jewel: 7 newborns were named Nalini that year, ranking #10,613 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Nalini, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
Meeting a woman or girl named Nalini is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Nalini can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Nalini. 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 Nalini living in one state or another (if your name is Nalini and you live outside of California or New York, 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 Nalini is in New York, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00004% of all female residents are named Nalini – that’s just one in 2,386,663! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 women with that name. So, if your name is Nalini, 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 N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Nalini 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.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
If your name is Nalini 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...
