Yuki is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to girls than to boys.
At least in the US, the name Yuki is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Yuki each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Yuki will meet someone with the same name. So, Yuki is a very special name! If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Yuki.
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 first names: only 1.6% of all common first names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.
With four letters, the name Yuki 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.
Since 1.6% of all first 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.
If your name is Yuki 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 Yuki, you can simply say:
