Leam is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Leam in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Leam in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Leam by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Leam ranks at #4,122. That means there are 4,121 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Leam.
The first name Leam is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 22 Americans in total bear this name. And these 22 men are located in only three states: Florida, New York and Texas (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 Leam 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 Leam in relation to it’s male population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 1,015,473 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Leam 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 four letters, the name Leam is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
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 Leam 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 Leam, you can simply say:
Lion
Elephant
Apple
Mouse

In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
