Alaura is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Alaura is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Alaura. In the SmartGenius ranking, Alaura is #3,009 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Alaura.
In fact, the name Alaura hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Alaura 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 1989, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,723, 71 parents chose it in 1989 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names.

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 Alaura seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With six letters, the name Alaura is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.

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...
