The first name 
Pamelia

Pamelia is a first name for girls.

Pamelia – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Pamelia 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 Pamelia. That means that a girl named Pamelia 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 Pamelia.

Pamelia -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Pamelia a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 90 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1949 – at that time, it ranked #879. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Pamelia is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Pamelia, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

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

Pamelia has 7 letters 
and begins with a P

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter P is quite rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.6% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a P, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, P is by no means the rarest initial. While A, S and M are the most common first letters of girls' names, Q, X and U are the least common initials of feminine first names.

With seven letters, the name Pamelia has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.

That means that since 1.6% of all girls’ names begin with a P, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. By the way, of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a P, Patricia is currently the most common.
