Tai is a unisex first name, but it has been given primarily to boys for a number of years.
Few children have been named Tai in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 children are currently called Tai. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Tai at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Tai is number *** on the list of most common first names.
In fact, the name Tai hardly fits the trend of first names. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Tai wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1980, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,403, 199 parents chose it in 1980 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Tai, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tai was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Tai a few times. Among all newborn babies, it ranked 4,449, for a total of 71 newborns. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Tai seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a quite popular first letter for given names. Because: 6.3% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for given names are A, J and K.
With only three letters, the name Tai 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.
This means that with 6.3% of all first names that begin with an S, this initial letter is much more common than all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Tai 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...
