The first name 
Stephenie

Stephenie is a female first name.

Stephenie – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Stephenie in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Stephenie in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Stephenie by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Stephenie ranks at #10,100. That means there are 10,099 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 Stephenie.

Stephenie has 9 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 nine letters, the name Stephenie is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.
