Aquiles is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Aquiles 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 Aquiles. In the SmartGenius ranking, Aquiles is #3,519 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 Aquiles.
In fact, the name Aquiles did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Aquiles seemed to be more popular than ever in 2012. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,903, 34 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Aquiles, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Aquiles was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Aquiles a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #4,181 - with a total of 20 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The first name Aquiles is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 179 Americans in total bear this name. And these 179 men are located in only four states: California, Florida, New York 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 Aquiles 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 Aquiles in relation to it’s male population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 171,629 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Aquiles present.
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.
With seven letters, the name Aquiles has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 if 9.0% of all boys' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the boys' names that start with an A, Anthony is the most common.
If your name is Aquiles 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...
