Tollie is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
Recently, the name Tollie 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 boy in 100,000 has been named Tollie. That means that a boy named Tollie is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his 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 Tollie.
Is the name Tollie a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 15 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1902 – at that time, it ranked #506. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Tollie is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their baby boy this unusual name. So, if your name is Tollie, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tollie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Tollie born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
Meeting a man or boy named Tollie is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Tollie can be found in only two: Alabama and Kentucky. No other state currently has residents named Tollie. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Tollie living in one state or another. (If your name is Tollie and you live outside of Alabama or Kentucky, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Tollie is in Kentucky, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Kentucky, only 0.00018% of all male residents are called Tollie – that’s just one in 563,577! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 10 men going by that name. So, if your name is Tollie, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names. That’s because 6.3% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J, A and D.
With six letters, the name Tollie is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
With 6.3% of all boys' names that begin with the letter T, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Thomas is the boys’ name starting with T, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Tollie 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...
