Laymon is a male first name.
Recently, the name Laymon has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Laymon. That means that a boy named Laymon is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Laymon.
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 to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Laymon. Boys named Laymon have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,121 Laymon ranked higher than ever in 1908. By comparison, there have been 79 years in which the first name Laymon 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 2022. In general, parents name their sons Laymon only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Laymon was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Laymon is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 31 Americans in total bear this name. And these 31 men are located in only three states: Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Laymon and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Laymon in relation to it’s male population is Kentucky. And yet even there, only one in 134,185 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Laymon present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.1% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With six letters, the name Laymon 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.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all boys' names starting with an L, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with L that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Larry.
If your name is Laymon 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Laymon, you can simply say:
