Gayland is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Gayland 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 Gayland. That means that a boy named Gayland 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 Gayland.
Is the name Gayland a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 47 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1950 – at that time, it ranked #915. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Gayland is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their baby boy this unusual name. So, if your name is Gayland, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Gayland was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The first name Gayland is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 168 Americans in total bear this name. And these 168 men are located in only four states: California, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas (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 Gayland 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 Gayland in relation to it’s male population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 82,336 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Gayland present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is not really common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with G. 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 seven letters, the name Gayland 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.
That means that with 2.8% of all boys' names beginning with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with G that are quite popular, the most common at present is George.
If your name is Gayland 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Gayland, you can simply say:
