Bluford is a male first name.
Recently, the name Bluford has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Bluford. That means that a boy named Bluford is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.
Is the name Bluford a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1883 – at that time, it landed at position 774 with 5 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Bluford 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 Bluford, 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 Bluford was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Bluford born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn boys with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Bluford born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter B is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.2% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With seven letters, the name Bluford 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.
Thus, it follows that if 4.2% of all boys' names start with a B, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Brian is the boys’ name starting with B, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Bluford 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 Bluford, you can simply say:
Butterfly
