Rylon is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Rylon in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Rylon in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Rylon by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Rylon ranks at #4,784. That means there are 4,783 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 Rylon.
Meeting a man or boy named Rylon is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Rylon can be found in only two: Louisiana and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Rylon. 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 Rylon living in one state or another. (If your name is Rylon and you live outside of Louisiana or Texas, 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 Rylon is in Louisiana, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Louisiana, only 0.00020% of all male residents are called Rylon – that’s just one in 490,169! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 men going by that name. So, if your name is Rylon, 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 five letters, the name Rylon 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.
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 Rylon 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 Rylon, you can simply say:
