Weslie -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Weslie your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Weslie never ranked higher than position 4,484 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Weslie. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1943 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 Weslie 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 Weslie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Weslie?

As in the last century, Weslie still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 39 times in the entire U.S. So, a Weslie from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Weslie 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 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 Weslie 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.
