Xayden is a male first name.

This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 216 Americans who bear this name. And these 216 men and boys named Xayden live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii and Louisiana. In the other 41 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Xayden lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Xayden and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Xayden relative to its male population is Hawaii. And even there, only one male in 108,655 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Xayden.
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 Xayden 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 Xayden 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...
