Luken is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Luken in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Luken in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Luken by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Luken ranks at #5,430. That means there are 5,429 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Luken.
If you’re looking for someone named Luken, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Luken living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few men and boys named Luken living in one state or another, but in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Luken and you live outside of California, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in California, the name Luken is not really that common – there are only 5 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all male residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!
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 five letters, the name Luken 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.
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 Luken 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 Luken, you can simply say:
Lion
Unicorn
Koala
Elephant
Nut
