Haynes is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Haynes in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Haynes in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Haynes by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Haynes ranks at #6,130. That means there are 6,129 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Haynes.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Haynes. Boys named Haynes have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,548 Haynes ranked higher than ever in 1918. By comparison, there have been 82 years in which the first name Haynes has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2011. In general, parents name their sons Haynes only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Haynes was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Haynes continues to be a precious jewel: 18 newborns were named Haynes that year, ranking #4,483 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Haynes, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Haynes, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in . 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 Haynes living in one state or another. (If your name is Haynes and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 655,127 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Haynes. So if your name is Haynes, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Haynes already makes you quite special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter H is not particularly common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.9% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an H. The most common first letters for boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common first letters of boys' names.
With six letters, the name Haynes 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.
This means that if 2.9% of all boys' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with H and are extremely popular, for example Henry, currently the most common boys’ name with H.
If your name is Haynes 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...
