Xai is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
Recently, the name Xai 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 Xai. That means that a boy named Xai is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Xai.
The first name Xai is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 44 Americans in total bear this name. And these 44 men are located in only three states: California, Minnesota and Wisconsin (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Xai and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Xai in relation to it’s male population is Minnesota. And yet even there, only one in 179,397 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Xai present.
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 only three letters, the name Xai is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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 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 Xai 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 Xai, you can simply say:
