Ekko is a first name for all genders. The name is given as well to boys and to girls.
At least in the US, the name Ekko is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Ekko each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Ekko will meet someone with the same name. So, Ekko is a very special name!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for given names: 3.8% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of given names are A and J, while U and X are the least common initials of first names.
With four letters, the name Ekko is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 with 3.8% of all first names starting with an E, this initial letter occurs exactly as often as all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Ekko 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...
