Nira is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Nira in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Nira in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Nira by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Nira ranks at #7,768. That means there are 7,767 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 Nira.
The odds of having a woman or girl named Nira 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 Nira is registered in 16 states, among which are Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Nira live in West Virginia, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 66,832 women and girls in West Virginia for their name before you meet one who answers with Nira.
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 four letters, the name Nira 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, 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 Nira 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...
