Timothee -
once in a blue moon

Boys named Timothee have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,882 Timothee ranked higher than ever before in 1991. By comparison, there have been 109 years in which the first name Timothee 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 2014. In general, parents name their sons Timothee only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Timothee was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
