Only about 2.1 % of first names in the United States begin with the letter V…
This means that the initial V is found much less frequently than average. On average, each letter appears as an initial in about 3.8 % of all names, considering the 26-letter English alphabet. Reality is always different, of course: Some initials appear particularly frequently, while others are much rarer. The most common initials in the United States are A and J, while very few names begin with the letters U and X.
