Donny is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Donny 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 Donny. In the SmartGenius ranking, Donny is #2,935 on the list of most common boys names. In the entire USA, approximately 9,134 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Donny. That is 0.00 % of all living Americans.
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 five letters, the name Donny 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.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all boys' names start with a D, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the boys’ names starting with D is David.
If your name is Donny 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...
