Oaklan is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Oaklan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Oaklan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Oaklan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Oaklan ranks at #4,499. That means there are 4,498 more common boys 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 Oaklan.
The first name Oaklan is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 15 Americans in total bear this name. And these 15 men are located in only three states: North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Oaklan and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Oaklan in relation to it’s male population is Tennessee. And yet even there, only one in 685,742 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Oaklan present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter O is pretty rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an O. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With six letters, the name Oaklan 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.
That means that since 1.8% of all boys’ names begin with an O, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names beginning with an O, which are quite popular
If your name is Oaklan 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...
