Raelin is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Raelin is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Raelin. In the SmartGenius ranking, Raelin is #4,017 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Raelin.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Raelin in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 74 women and girls named Raelin, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 74 women and girls named Raelin live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota and Texas. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Raelin. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Raelin lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Raelin and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Raelin relative to its female population is Minnesota. And even there, only one in 147,932 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Raelin.
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 girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Raelin 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, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Raelin 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...
