Ogie is a first name for all genders, most often used for boys.
At least in the US, the name Ogie is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Ogie each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Ogie will meet someone with the same name. So, Ogie is a very special name!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter O is quite rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.5% of all common given names in the US begin with an O, which means that this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, O is by no means the rarest initial. While A, J and K are the most common first letters of given names, U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.
With four letters, the name Ogie 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.
Now do the math: Since 1.5% of all first names begin with an O, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average.
If your name is Ogie 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...
