There’s a good chance that a boy named Andrae in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Andrae in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Andrae by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Andrae ranks at #4,580. That means there are 4,579 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 Andrae.
Andrae is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Andrae - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 687 in 1982. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Andrae really in tune with his generation.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is a very popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 9.0% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter J is more common for boys' names.
