The first name 
Willette

Willette is a female first name.

Willette – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Willette 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 Willette. That means that a girl named Willette is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Willette.

Willette -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Willette your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Willette never ranked higher than position 1,311 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Willette. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1965 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 Willette 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 Willette was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Willette?

As in the last century, Willette still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Willette who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.

quite rare in all states

Willette has 8 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 eight letters, the name Willette is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
