Whitlee is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Whitlee is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Whitlee. In the SmartGenius ranking, Whitlee is #3,288 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Whitlee.
In fact, the name Whitlee did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Whitlee seemed to be more popular than ever in 2019. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,721, 53 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Whitlee, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Whitlee was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Whitlee a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #2,862 - with a total of 50 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Whitlee in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 119 women and girls named Whitlee, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 119 women and girls named Whitlee live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Whitlee. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Whitlee lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Whitlee and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Whitlee relative to its female population is Missouri. And even there, only one in 168,978 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Whitlee.
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 seven letters, the name Whitlee 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.
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.
If your name is Whitlee 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 Whitlee, you can simply say:

Hat
Igloo
Tiger
