The first name 
Varshini

Varshini is a first name for girls.

Varshini – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Varshini in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Varshini in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Varshini by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Varshini ranks at #9,556. That means there are 9,555 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 Varshini.

Varshini

Varshini has 8 letters 
and begins with a V

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter V is quite rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.6% of all common girls' names in the US begin with V, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But V is by no means the rarest initial. While Q, X and U are the least common initials of girls' names, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M.

With eight letters, the name Varshini 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.

From this follows that if 1.6% of all girls' names begin with a V, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Incidentally, of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a V, Virginia is currently the most common.
