Infant is a first name for all genders.
At least in the US, the name Infant is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Infant each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Infant will meet someone with the same name. So, Infant is a very special name!
Is the name Infant a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1990, when it ranked #481 with 1,178 newborns receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Infant is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their baby this unusual name. So, if your name is Infant, 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 Infant was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is quite rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.6% of all common first names in the US begin with I, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But I is by no means the rarest initial. While U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K.
With six letters, the name Infant is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
From this follows that if 1.5% of all first names begin with an I, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
If your name is Infant 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...
