The first name 
Auguste

Auguste is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.

Auguste – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Auguste in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Auguste in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Auguste by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Auguste ranks at #4,586. That means there are 4,585 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 Auguste.

Auguste -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Auguste a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1882 – at that time, it landed at position 730 with 6 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Auguste is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Auguste, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Auguste was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Auguste in 2022 – There he is!

Welcome, Auguste, to 2022. Even if your highest rank is long ago, 27 parents welcomed a new Auguste to earth that year. That makes Auguste ranking on position 3,477 among newborn boys in the SmartGenius statistics. If you know someone named Auguste who was born in 2022, you know someone truly special.

Auguste -
at home in California and New York

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Auguste, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or New York. 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 Auguste living in one state or another. (If your name is Auguste and you live outside of California and New York, 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 1,484,698 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Auguste. So if your name is Auguste, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Auguste already makes you quite special.

Auguste has 7 letters 
and begins with an A

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 Auguste 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.
