Vicki is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Vicki in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Vicki in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Vicki by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Vicki ranks at #8,384. That means there are 8,383 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 150,149 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Vicki. That is 0.04 % of all living Americans.
The name Vicki may not be in the top rankings of the most popular girls’ names, but it is one of the few female given names, along with only 536 others, that can be found in every single state in the U.S. from Alaska to Florida and from California to New York. Of course, the name occurs more frequently in some states than in others – and Vicki is apparently especially popular in Wyoming. Although the name is not one of the top 100 most popular women’s names here either, one in 443 women in Wyoming is called Vicki. In total, that’s 435 women who feel addressed when the name Vicki is shouted loudly across Wyoming and who ensure that their name makes it to #119 in our SmartGenius ranking of the most common female names in this nice state. If you asked all women in the entire U.S. for their first name, you would hear Vicki as the answer a total of 150,149 times. This places Vicki at #233 in our SmartGenius statistics for the most popular women’s names in the whole of the USA. This is true for all currently living women across all states and age groups – the recent popularity of the name Vicki as a baby name is, of course, a bit different, as you can see from the statistics above.
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 five letters, the name Vicki is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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.
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.
If your name is Vicki 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Vicki, you can simply say:
