Raigan -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Raigan 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 70 women and girls named Raigan, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 70 women and girls named Raigan live in no more than 6 different states, including for example Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio and Oklahoma. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Raigan. (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 Raigan lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Raigan 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 Raigan relative to its female population is Texas. And even there, only one in 280,138 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Raigan.

Raigan has 6 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 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 Raigan 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.
