Nakai is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Nakai is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Nakai. In the SmartGenius ranking, Nakai is # 2,941 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 Nakai.
The first name Nakai is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 100 Americans in total bear this name. And these 100 men called Nakai are located in only five states: California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. (However, we have to mention that the official statistics provide the frequency of a name per state only if there are at least 5 men with this sepcific name in that state. It is therefore quite possible that there are one or two more states where someone with the name Nakai lives without being listed in official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Nakai and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.) The state with the most boys and men named Nakai in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 342,820 men would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Nakai.
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 five letters, the name Nakai 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, 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 Nakai 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...
