Quamaine is a male first name.
Recently, the name Quamaine has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Quamaine. That means that a boy named Quamaine is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Quamaine.
The first name Quamaine is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 41 Americans in total bear this name. And these 41 men are located in only three states: Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina (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 Quamaine 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 Quamaine in relation to it’s male population is North Carolina. And yet even there, only one in 191,079 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Quamaine present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The Q is really rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 0.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters X and U are even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common initial letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With eight letters, the name Quamaine is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that as 0.8% of all boys' names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average more than five times as often as the Q. Of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a Q, most are also not very common - the most popular currently is the one of Mr. Tarantino.
If your name is Quamaine 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 Quamaine, you can simply say:
Queen
Unicorn
Apple
Mouse
Apple
Igloo
Nut
