Lilburn is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Lilburn 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 Lilburn. That means that a boy named Lilburn 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 Lilburn.
Is the name Lilburn a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1894 – at that time, it landed at position 795 with 6 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Lilburn is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Lilburn, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lilburn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

In the other 43 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state.

The state with the most boys and men named Lilburn relative to its male population is Kentucky. And even there, only one male in 47,761 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Lilburn.
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 seven letters, the name Lilburn 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. 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 Lilburn 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...
