Buckley is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Buckley 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 Buckley. In the SmartGenius ranking, Buckley is #3,537 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 Buckley.
If your name is Buckley your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Buckley has never ranked higher than position 1,620 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Buckley for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1962 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Buckley because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Buckley was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Buckley is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 69 times in the entire USA. So a Buckley of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Buckley is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 32 Americans in total bear this name. And these 32 men are located in only five states: Idaho, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wisconsin (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 Buckley 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 Buckley in relation to it’s male population is Idaho. And yet even there, only one in 133,615 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Buckley present.
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 Buckley 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 Buckley 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...
