Normal is a first name for all genders, most often used for boys.
At least in the US, the name Normal is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Normal each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Normal will meet someone with the same name. So, Normal 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 six letters, the name Normal is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Normal 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 Normal, you can simply say:
