Reo is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Reo in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Reo in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Reo by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Reo ranks at #6,073. That means there are 6,072 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 Reo.
If your name is Reo your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Reo has never ranked higher than position 1,279 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Reo for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1913 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Reo because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Reo was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Reo is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 15 times in the entire USA. So a Reo of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Meeting a man or boy named Reo is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Reo can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Reo. 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 men and boys called Reo living in one state or another. (If your name is Reo and you live outside of , 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 Reo is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00007% of all male residents are called Reo – that’s just one in 1,484,698! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 men going by that name. So, if your name is Reo, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 only three letters, the name Reo is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
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.
If your name is Reo 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 Reo, you can simply say:
