Dakarai

Dakarai is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.

When two boys called Dakarai meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Dakarai is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Dakarai. In the SmartGenius ranking, Dakarai is #2,520 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Dakarai.

Dakarai -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Dakarai did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Dakarai seemed to be more popular than ever in 2009. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,909, 65 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Dakarai, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Dakarai was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

and begins with a D

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 8.5% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J and A are more common for boys' names.

With seven letters, the name Dakarai has a typical length for first names in the US.
