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.

With seven letters, the name Kriston has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more.

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.
