Brion is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Brion in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Brion in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Brion by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Brion ranks at #4,748. That means there are 4,747 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 Brion.
The odds of having a man or boy named Brion in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Brion is registered in 13 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana or Massachusetts. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Brion live in Pennsylvania, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 81,908 men and boys in Pennsylvania for their name before you meet one who answers with Brion.
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 five letters, the name Brion 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.
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 Brion 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 Brion, you can simply say:
Butterfly
Rocket
Igloo
Orange
Nut
