Reinaldo is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Reinaldo in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Reinaldo in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Reinaldo by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Reinaldo ranks at #4,600. That means there are 4,599 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 Reinaldo.
The odds of having a man or boy named Reinaldo in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Reinaldo is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois or Massachusetts. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Reinaldo live in New York, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 9,613 men and boys in New York for their name before you meet one who answers with Reinaldo.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is quite common as an initial letter for boys’ names. To be precise, 5.2% of all boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With eight letters, the name Reinaldo 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.
Therefore: As 5.2% of all boys' names start with R, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with an R, Robert is the most common.
If your name is Reinaldo 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...
