Lio is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Lio in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lio in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Lio by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Lio 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 Lio.
Meeting a man or boy named Lio is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Lio can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Lio. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Lio living in one state or another. (If your name is Lio and you live outside of California or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Lio is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00023% of all male residents are called Lio – that’s just one in 429,781! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 48 men going by that name. So, if your name is Lio, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 only three letters, the name Lio is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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 Lio 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 Lio, you can simply say:
