The first name 
Kairen

Kairen is a first name for boys.

Kairen – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Kairen in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kairen in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Kairen by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Kairen ranks at #7,024. That means there are 7,023 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Kairen.

Kairen -
something very, very special - even in his home state California!

If you’re looking for someone named Kairen, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Kairen living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few men and boys named Kairen living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Kairen and you live outside of California, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in California, the name Kairen is not really that common – there are only 5 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all male residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Kairen has 6 letters 
and begins with a K

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 7.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J, A and D are more common for boys' names.

With six letters, the name Kairen 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.

That means that if 7.9% of all boys' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the boys’ names that begin with a K, Kenneth is the most common.
