Ibrahima is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Ibrahima 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 Ibrahima. In the SmartGenius ranking, Ibrahima is # 2,844 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 Ibrahima.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Ibrahima, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Maryland, New York or Ohio. 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 Ibrahima living in one state or another. (If your name is Ibrahima and you live outside of Maryland, New York and Ohio, 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 30,937 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Ibrahima. So if your name is Ibrahima, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Ibrahima already makes you quite special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is quite rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an I. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With eight letters, the name Ibrahima is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 1.5% of all boys' names begin with an I, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with I that are quite popular, the most common at present is Isaac.
If your name is Ibrahima 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...
