Braley is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Braley in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Braley in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Braley by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Braley ranks at #9,034. That means there are 9,033 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a B. This means that B as the first letter for girls' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Braley 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.
Thus, if 3.2% of all girls’ names start with a B, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with B that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Barbara.

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...
