Ragen is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Recently, the name Ragen 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 girl in 100,000 has been named Ragen. That means that a girl named Ragen is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her 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 Ragen.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Ragen. Girls named Ragen have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 3,029 Ragen ranked higher than ever in 1974. By comparison, there have been 98 years in which the first name Ragen has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Ragen only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ragen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Meeting a woman or girl named Ragen is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Ragen can be found in only two: Michigan and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Ragen. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Ragen living in one state or another (if your name is Ragen and you live outside of Michigan or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Ragen is in Michigan, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Michigan, only 0.00009% of all female residents are named Ragen – that’s just one in 1,154,706! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 women with that name. So, if your name is Ragen, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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 five letters, the name Ragen is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 4.1% 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 Ragen 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 Ragen, you can simply say:
Rocket
Apple
Goat
Elephant
Nut
