The first name 
Brax

Brax is a first name for boys.

When two boys called Brax meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Brax 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 Brax. In the SmartGenius ranking, Brax is #3,449 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 Brax.

Brax -
at home in California and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Brax, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or Texas. 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 Brax living in one state or another. (If your name is Brax and you live outside of California and Texas, 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 393,086 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Brax. So if your name is Brax, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Brax already makes you quite special.

Brax has 4 letters 
and begins with a B

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 four letters, the name Brax is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. 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.
