Shawndra is a female first name.
Recently, the name Shawndra 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 Shawndra. That means that a girl named Shawndra 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 Shawndra.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Shawndra. Girls named Shawndra have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,969 Shawndra ranked higher than ever in 1974. By comparison, there have been 104 years in which the first name Shawndra has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Shawndra only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Shawndra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Shawndra is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 44 Americans in total bear this name. And these 44 women are located in only three states: California, Illinois 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 Shawndra 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 Shawndra in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 532,604 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Shawndra.
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 eight letters, the name Shawndra 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.
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 Shawndra 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...
