The first name 
Starlyn

Starlyn is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

Starlyn – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Starlyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Starlyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Starlyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Starlyn ranks at #8,363. That means there are 8,362 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 Starlyn.

Starlyn -
something very, very special - even in her home state California!

If you’re looking for someone named Starlyn, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Starlyn living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Starlyn living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Starlyn and you live outside of California, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in California, the name Starlyn is not really that common – there are only 10 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00007% of all female residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Starlyn has 7 letters 
and begins with an S

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 Starlyn 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.
