Imran is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Imran cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #871 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2018. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Imran, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Imran seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Imran was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The odds that a man or boy named Imran lives in your home state are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This boy’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet boys and men with the name Imran in 22 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Imran live in Minnesota – here, one in 8,689 bears this name.

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 five letters, the name Imran 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.
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.

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...
