Shailyn is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Shailyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Shailyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Shailyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Shailyn ranks at #6,783. That means there are 6,782 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 Shailyn.
In fact, the name Shailyn did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Shailyn seemed to be more popular than ever in 2001. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,690, 49 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Shailyn, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Shailyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Shailyn a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #9,733 - with a total of 8 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The first name Shailyn is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 42 Americans in total bear this name. And these 42 women are located in only four states: California, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Shailyn and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Shailyn in relation to it’s female population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 568,253 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Shailyn.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Shailyn 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 if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
If your name is Shailyn 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...
