Vale has 4 letters 
and begins with a V

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter V is quite rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.5% of all common first names in the US begin with a V. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With four letters, the name Vale is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 if 1.5% of all first names begin with a V, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
