Yug is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Yug 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 Yug. In the SmartGenius ranking, Yug is #2,909 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 Yug.
The first name Yug is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 128 Americans in total bear this name. And these 128 men are located in only five states: California, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey and Texas (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 Yug 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 Yug in relation to it’s male population is New Jersey. And yet even there, only one in 79,389 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Yug present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Y is pretty rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.7% of all common boys' names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With only three letters, the name Yug 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.
Since 1.7% of all boys’ names begin with a Y, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average, but Y is by no means the rarest initial. And of course, there are single names with Y that are very popular, currently the most common boys’ name that starts with Y is Yahir.
If your name is Yug 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 Yug, you can simply say:
