Lotus is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Lotus is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,918 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,917 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lotus.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Lotus are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Lotus is registered in 15 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Lotus live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 62,487 would turn around if you called the name Lotus across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With five letters, the name Lotus 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.
That means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Lotus 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 Lotus, you can simply say:
Lion
Orange
Tiger
Unicorn
Sun
