You may find it surprising, but only seven of the names in the top 1,000 girl baby names for 2014 start with a W: Wendy, Whitney, Willa, Willow, Winter, Wren, and Wynter. At the same time, you probably won’t find it surprising that the most popular letter that girls’ names start with is A (177 of the top 1,000), with M as a close second with 105 names. Among the boys’ names, 100 start with J, and A names comprise 97 of the total 1,000 names. In 2009, every single letter in the alphabet had at least one boy and girl name, as Unique hopped back on the chart (929) for the first time in four years. But in 2014, no U names made it on the girls’ list. (The boys, however, are covered, with Uriah, Uriel, Urijah, and Ulises). And there was only one Q (Quinn) or X(Ximena) for girls.
