Chuck is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Chuck in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Chuck in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Chuck by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Chuck ranks at #6,847. That means there are 6,846 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 14,579 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Chuck. That is 0.00 % of all living Americans.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With five letters, the name Chuck is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
If your name is Chuck 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 Chuck, you can simply say:
