The first name 
Xailyn

Xailyn is a first name for boys.

Xailyn – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Xailyn 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 Xailyn. That means that a boy named Xailyn is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

Xailyn

Xailyn has 6 letters 
and begins with an X

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 Xailyn 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.
