Phyliss is a female first name.
Recently, the name Phyliss 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 Phyliss. That means that a girl named Phyliss 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 Phyliss.
Is the name Phyliss a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 49 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1931 – at that time, it ranked #926. 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 Phyliss 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 Phyliss, 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 Phyliss was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Phyliss 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 Phyliss in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Phyliss live in New York – here, one in 76,008 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 310,831 will turn around if you call her first name Phyliss.
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 Phyliss 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.
If your name is Phyliss 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...
