Almost every thirtieth first name in the USA begins with the letter N…
This means that the initial N is only slightly less common than average – with 26 letters in the alphabet, each initial occurs on average in 3,8 % of all names. In fact, the letters that form initials aren’t distributed evenly – some initials are very common, while others are very rare. The most common initials in the United States are A and J, while very few names begin with the letters U and X.
In the US, the most common boys’ name with the initial N is Noah, and the most popular girls’ name is Natalie. Recently in the United States, approximately one in 100 boys has been named Noah, and approximately 0.4 % of all newborn girls are named Natalie. Other well-known names with an N are Nora and Nathan. The names Nasir and Nylah, on the other hand, are also well known in the US and have been used occasionally in recent years, but are generally still quite rare.
