Sunil is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Sunil has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Sunil. That means that a boy named Sunil is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sunil.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Sunil. Boys named Sunil have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,289 Sunil ranked higher than ever before in 1979. By comparison, there have been 89 years in which the first name Sunil has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Sunil only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sunil was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Sunil is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 236 Americans in total bear this name. And these 236 men are located in only five states: California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Sunil and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Sunil in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 80,290 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Sunil present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. Because: 5.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J, A and D.
With five letters, the name Sunil 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.
This means that with 5.9% of all boys' names that begin with an S, this first letter is much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the boys’ names starting with S is Steven.
If your name is Sunil 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 Sunil, you can simply say:
Sun
Unicorn
Nut
Igloo
Lion
