Naim is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Naim is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Naim. In the SmartGenius ranking, Naim is #1,973 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Naim.
In fact, the name Naim hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Naim wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1976, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,075, 52 parents chose it in 1976 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Naim, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Naim was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Naim a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 1,737, for a total of 80 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Naim seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of having a man or boy named Naim in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Naim is registered in 12 states, among which are California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Naim live in New Jersey, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 17,310 men and boys in New Jersey for their name before you meet one who answers with Naim.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.0% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an N. This means that N as the first letter for boys' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With four letters, the name Naim is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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, if 3.0% of all boys’ names start with an N, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with N that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Nicholas.
If your name is Naim 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...
