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 eight letters, the name Raeshawn 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.
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.

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...
