Neoma is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Neoma in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Neoma in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Neoma by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Neoma ranks at #9,079. That means there are 9,078 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Neoma.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Neoma 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 Neoma is registered in 18 states, among which are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Neoma live in Oklahoma, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 7,041 would turn around if you called the name Neoma across Oklahoma.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With five letters, the name Neoma 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 girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
If your name is Neoma 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...
