Rebel is a name for all genders, somewhat more commonly used for girls.
Few children have been named Rebel in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 children are currently called Rebel. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Rebel at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Rebel is number *** on the list of most common first names.
In fact, the name Rebel did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Rebel seemed to be more popular than ever in 2021. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,332, 185 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rebel, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rebel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Rebel a few times. Among all babies it ranked #3,453 - with a total of 105 newborns. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving children with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
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 five letters, the name Rebel 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 4.8% of all first names start with an R, this initial letter occurs more often than all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Rebel 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...
