Vivan is a unisex first name, but it has been given primarily to boys for a number of years.
At least in the US, the name Vivan is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Vivan each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Vivan will meet someone with the same name. So, Vivan is a very special name!
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 to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Vivan.

By comparison, there have been 76 years in which the first name Vivan 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 2002. In general, parents name their babies Vivan only once in a blue moon, so, if your name is Vivan you can consider yourself truly special!

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 five letters, the name Vivan 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 if 1.5% of all first names begin with a V, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
If your name is Vivan 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...
