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 six letters, the name Velmer is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.
