Wallis is a unisex first name, but it has been primarily given to girls for a number of years.
At least in the US, the name Wallis is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Wallis each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Wallis will meet someone with the same name. So, Wallis is a very special name!
If your name is Wallis your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Wallis never ranked higher than position 1,795 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Wallis. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1937 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Wallis because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Wallis was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Wallis still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 20 times in the entire U.S. So, a Wallis from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The W is really rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.1% of all common first names in the US begin with a W. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.
With six letters, the name Wallis 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.
That means that if 1.1% of all first names start with a W, all other letters occur on average more than three times as often as the W.
If your name is Wallis 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 Wallis, you can simply say:
