Rosalynn is a first name for girls.
Rosalynn is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,505 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,504 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rosalynn.
While Rosalynn isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to be attracting more and more parents in the 21st century. In 2020 the name Rosalynn reached its highest popularity with #1,184 in our ranking of all female first names. Because it's so exquisite, moms and dads haven't always thought of naming their daughter Rosalynn (or at least not more than four in some years as there must be at least five girls named Rosalynn to appear in the official statistics). Using these criteria, the first name Rosalynn has been given to babies in 84 of the 143 years since records began, making girls with this name still very special today.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rosalynn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 126 babies were born with the name Rosalynn. This puts the name in rank 1,507 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 1,176,444 newborns was named Rosalynn that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Rosalynn has been and remains marvelously unusual!
You may not know anyone named Rosalynn, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to women and girls named Rosalynn. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Rosalynn living in one state or another. If your name is Rosalynn and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In California, which has the most people named Rosalynn relative to the population, you still have to ask 47,044 women and girls their names before you hear Rosalynn as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R 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. 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 eight letters, the name Rosalynn is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Rosalynn 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...
