The first name 
Draylon

Draylon is a male first name.

Draylon – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Draylon has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Draylon. That means that a boy named Draylon is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Draylon.

Draylon -
at home in Mississippi and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Draylon, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Mississippi or Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Draylon living in one state or another. (If your name is Draylon and you live outside of Mississippi and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 320,676 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Draylon. So if your name is Draylon, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Draylon already makes you quite special.

Draylon has 7 letters 
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 Draylon has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.

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.

D, r, a, y, l, o and n

If you take all the letters in the name Draylon – D, r, a, y, l, o and n – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Doralyn or others.
