Kippy is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to boys than to girls.
At least in the US, the name Kippy is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Kippy each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Kippy will meet someone with the same name. So, Kippy is a very special name! If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kippy.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a quite popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. Only the initial letters A and J are more common for first names.
With five letters, the name Kippy 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.
Therefore: As 7.7% of all first names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Kippy 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...
