Nelle is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Nelle in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Nelle in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Nelle by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Nelle ranks at #5,269. That means there are 5,268 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 Nelle.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Nelle are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Nelle in 20 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia or Illinois. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Nelle live in Tennessee – here, one in 8,966 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 110,123 will turn around if you call her first name Nelle.
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 five letters, the name Nelle 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.
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 Nelle 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...
