Lorin is a name for all genders, somewhat more commonly used for boys.
At least in the US, the name Lorin is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Lorin each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Lorin will meet someone with the same name. So, Lorin is a very special name!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is quite common as an initial letter for first names. To be precise, 5.5% of all given names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K.
With five letters, the name Lorin is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
Therefore: As 5.5% of all first names start with an L, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Lorin 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...
