Choosing the baby's name: how many people are called the same and how old are they?

When choosing the name of the baby, one of the issues that most concern parents is that it is exclusive and they look for infrequent names, while on the contrary, there are also those who look for the most popular names.

For some as for others, or out of curiosity, this tool of the INE (National Statistics Institute) to know the frequency of the names of residents in Spain will be very useful.

When we put a name, it allows us to know how many people are called equal, and the average age of those people, as well as the province of residence of those people.

How many are called ...?

Have you chosen to call Shakira to your daughter but you are not sure why you think there may be many girls who call themselves that? In Spain there are 618 girls with that name and they have an average of 14.1 years. What I do not know is whether it will be funny to be called as an artist of the song.

Have you thought of calling Indalecio to your son because you think it is a very unique name? Well, I don't know, try some singer's name, because there are 2,622 people with that name and they have an average of 50.3 years, so I don't know if your son will like it because it is not very modern to be said.

You may prefer to know how many "Marias" there are, and you are surprised to see that there are more than six hundred thousand with an average age of 48.6 years, or to know how many children are called "Iker", which seems that there will not be many, and you find out of which there are 45,100 and have an average of 13.9 years.

For example, we have named Daenerys, a name that some parents chose for their daughters with the fury of Game of Thrones (and what many regret). There are currently 86 girls with that name with an average age of 2.3 years.
