Fionn is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Fionn 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 Fionn. In the SmartGenius ranking, Fionn is #3,130 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 Fionn.
The first name Fionn is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 113 Americans in total bear this name. And these 113 men are located in only four states: California, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Fionn and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Fionn in relation to it’s male population is Massachusetts. And yet even there, only one in 256,319 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Fionn present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter F is quite rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an F. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Fionn 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 1.5% of all boys' names begin with an F, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average. However, individual boys' names with F are really popular, the most common currently being Frank.
If your name is Fionn 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...
