The first name 
Wanell

Wanell is a female first name.

Wanell – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Wanell 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 girl in 100,000 has been named Wanell.

Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Wanell.

Wanell -
something very, very special - even in her home state Georgia!

If you’re looking for someone named Wanell, you might want to head to Georgia. Why Georgia of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Wanell living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Wanell living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Wanell and you live outside of Georgia, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in Georgia, the name Wanell is not really that common – there are only 8 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00019% of all female residents of Georgia – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Wanell has 6 letters 
and begins with a W

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 girls' names: only 0.8% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a W. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With six letters, the name Wanell 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 0.8% of all girls' names start with a W, all other letters occur on average five times as often as the W. Nevertheless, individual girls' names with W are quite popular, the most common currently being Wanda.
