Buel is a male first name.
Recently, the name Buel 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 Buel. That means that a boy named Buel is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Buel.
Is the name Buel a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1898 – at that time, it landed at position 690 with 8 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Buel 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 Buel, 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 Buel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Buel. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 243 Americans who bear this name. And these 243 men and boys named Buel live in no more than 7 different states, including for example Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and North Carolina. In the other 42 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Buel lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Buel and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Buel relative to its male population is Kentucky. And even there, only one male in 34,789 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Buel.
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 Buel 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.
If your name is Buel 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 Buel, you can simply say:
