Xabier is a male first name.
Recently, the name Xabier 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 Xabier. That means that a boy named Xabier is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter X is the rarest initial for boys' names in the US. Only 0.4% of all common boys' names begin with this letter. Incidentally, the second-rarest first letter of boys' names is U, and the most common first letters are J and A.
With six letters, the name Xabier 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 with 0.4% of all boys' names starting with X, all other letters occur on average nearly nine times as often. Moreover, of the comparatively few boys' names that start with X, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Xavier.
If your name is Xabier 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Xabier, you can simply say:
