Rileigh is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Rileigh is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,790 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,789 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rileigh.
You may not know anyone named Rileigh, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 29 states are home to women and girls named Rileigh. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Rileigh living in one state or another. If your name is Rileigh and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Georgia, which has the most people named Rileigh relative to the population, you still have to ask 26,165 women and girls their names before you hear Rileigh as an answer just once.
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 seven letters, the name Rileigh has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
If your name is Rileigh 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 Rileigh, you can simply say:
Rocket
Igloo
Lion
Elephant
Igloo
Goat
