Lonnie is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
Lonnie is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1449 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,448 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 89,900 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Lonnie. That is 0.03 % of all living Americans.
Appearing throughout the time in the United States, the name Lonnie is a staple in the country: Boys have been given the name Lonnie for more than 140 years, according to official U.S. naming statistics. Lonnie is therefore one of only 442 boys’ names that have been given every year since 1880. Even beyond that, Lonnie is a very special name that peaked in popularity some time ago in the 20th century. Placed at #98 Lonnie easily made it into the top 100 boys' names of our SmartGenius statistics for male first names and has never been more popular than back in 1901.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lonnie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
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 Lonnie 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.

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...
