Bawi is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Bawi in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Bawi in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Bawi by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Bawi ranks at #4,864. That means there are 4,863 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 Bawi.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Bawi, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Indiana or Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Bawi living in one state or another. (If your name is Bawi and you live outside of Indiana and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 95,806 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Bawi. So if your name is Bawi, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Bawi already makes you quite special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter B is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.2% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With four letters, the name Bawi is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
Thus, it follows that if 4.2% of all boys' names start with a B, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Brian is the boys’ name starting with B, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Bawi 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Bawi, you can simply say:
