Meeting a woman or girl named Weslynn is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Weslynn can be found in only three: California, Georgia and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Weslynn. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Weslynn living in one state or another (if your name is Weslynn and you live outside of California, Georgia or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Weslynn is in Texas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00033% of all female residents are named Weslynn – that’s just one in 307,091! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 46 women with that name. So, if your name is Weslynn, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

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 seven letters, the name Weslynn has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
