Rukia – one in 100,000!

Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Rukia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Rukia ranks at #8,114. That means there are 8,113 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 Rukia.
