Rael -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Rael did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Rael seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #5,250, 55 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rael, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Rael was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Rael has 4 letters 
and begins with an R

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for given names: 4.8% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. The most common initial letters of first names are A and J, while U and X are the least common initials of first names.

With four letters, the name Rael 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 if 4.8% of all first names start with an R, this initial letter occurs more often than all 26 letters on average.
