Joram is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Joram in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Joram in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Joram by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Joram ranks at #7,160. That means there are 7,159 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Joram. Boys named Joram have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,867 Joram ranked higher than ever before in 1982. By comparison, there have been 110 years in which the first name Joram has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2004. In general, parents name their sons Joram only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is the most popular first letter for boys’ names. 10.1% of all common boys’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in boys’ names is A.
With five letters, the name Joram 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 10.1% of all boys’ names start with a J, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the boys’ names that begin with the letter J, the name James is the most common.
If your name is Joram 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...
