The first name 
Rosella

Rosella is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.

When two girls called Rosella meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Rosella is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Rosella. In the SmartGenius ranking, Rosella is #2,731 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rosella.

Rosella

Rosella has 7 letters 
and begins with an R

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 seven letters, the name Rosella 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.

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.
