Xane is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Xane is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Xane. In the SmartGenius ranking, Xane is #3,531 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Xane.
Meeting a man or boy named Xane is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Xane can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Xane. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Xane living in one state or another. (If your name is Xane and you live outside of California or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Xane is in Texas, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00027% of all male residents are called Xane – that’s just one in 369,263! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 38 men going by that name. So, if your name is Xane, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 four letters, the name Xane is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Xane 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 Xane, you can simply say:
