Clint is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
Clint is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1358 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,357 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 27,549 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Clint. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their son Clint annualy. This means that there have been boys named Clint who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus men named Clint have consistently been special. The name became especially popular in the last quarter of the last century and there was one year in particular when parents of Generation X and Generation Y rather came up with the idea of naming their child Clint: in 1980, it holds its present record of #190 in the ranking of the most popular boys' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Clint was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Clint has never been ranked higher than #190. In 2022, he rivaled the 1,574 names that preceded him on the list. In total, 96 boys named Clint were born in this year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Clint were born, there have been 579 newborns who received this name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With five letters, the name Clint 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.
With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
If your name is Clint 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 Clint, you can simply say:

Lion
Igloo
