Nesta is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to boys than to girls.
At least in the US, the name Nesta is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Nesta each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Nesta will meet someone with the same name. So, Nesta is a very special name!
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 five letters, the name Nesta 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 3.4% of all first names start with an N, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average.
If your name is Nesta 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 Nesta, you can simply say:
