Narayana is a very rare first name!

Narayana

Narayana has 8 letters 
and begins with an N

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.4% of all common first names in the US begin with an N. This means that N as the first letter for given names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common initial letters of first names are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With eight letters, the name Narayana is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

Thus, if 3.4% of all first names start with an N, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average.
