Raquan is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Raquan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Raquan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Raquan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Raquan ranks at #5,086. That means there are 5,085 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Raquan.
Raquan is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Raquan - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 813 in 1996. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Raquan really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Raquan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is quite common as an initial letter for boys’ names. To be precise, 5.2% of all boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With six letters, the name Raquan 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.
Therefore: As 5.2% of all boys' names start with R, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with an R, Robert is the most common.

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...
