The first name 
Ubaid

Ubaid is a first name for boys.

Ubaid – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Ubaid 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 Ubaid. That means that a boy named Ubaid is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

to discover about the name
 
Ubaid

Ubaid has 5 letters 
and begins with a U

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter U is very rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 0.4% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. Only the letter X is even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J and A.

With five letters, the name Ubaid 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.

That means that with 0.4% of all boys' names starting with U, all other letters occur on average more than nine times as often. Moreover, of the comparatively few boys' names that start with U, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Uriel.
