Alexi -
special from day one

In fact, the name Alexi hardly fits the trend of first names. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Alexi 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 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,576, 236 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Alexi, 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 Alexi was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Alexi - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Alexi a few times. Among all newborn babies, it ranked 4,698, for a total of 65 newborns. 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 Alexi seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Alexi has 5 letters 
and begins with an A

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 given names. 10.3% of all common first names in the US start with this letter. The second most common initial letter in first names is J.

With five letters, the name Alexi is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.

That means that if 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
