The first name 
Vollie

Vollie is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.

Vollie – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Vollie 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 Vollie. That means that a boy named Vollie 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 Vollie.

Vollie -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Vollie a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1884 – at that time, it landed at position 624 with 8 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Vollie is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Vollie, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!

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