Nima is a masculine first name but has increasingly been given to girls in recent years.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Nima in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Nima in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Nima by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Nima ranks at #6,347. That means there are 6,346 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Nima.
In fact, the name Nima hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Nima wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1984, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,416, 38 parents chose it in 1984 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Nima, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nima was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Nima a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 3,953, for a total of 22 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Nima seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The first name Nima is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 431 Americans in total bear this name. And these 431 men are located in only four states: California, Maryland, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Nima and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Nima in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 40,626 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Nima present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.0% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an N. This means that N as the first letter for boys' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With four letters, the name Nima is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. 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.
Thus, if 3.0% of all boys’ names start with an N, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with N that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Nicholas.
If your name is Nima 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 Nima, you can simply say:

In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
