Brewer is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Brewer is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Brewer. In the SmartGenius ranking, Brewer is #2,231 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 Brewer.
The odds of having a man or boy named Brewer in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Brewer is registered in 11 states, among which are California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky or Missouri. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Brewer live in South Carolina, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 210,648 men and boys in South Carolina for their name before you meet one who answers with Brewer.
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 six letters, the name Brewer is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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 Brewer 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...
