Cleophus is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Recently, the name Cleophus 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 Cleophus. That means that a boy named Cleophus 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 Cleophus.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Cleophus. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 560 Americans who bear this name. And these 560 men and boys named Cleophus live in no more than 9 different states, including for example Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana and Michigan. In the other 40 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 Cleophus lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Cleophus 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 Cleophus relative to its male population is Alabama. And even there, only one male in 8,343 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Cleophus.
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 eight letters, the name Cleophus is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Cleophus 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 Cleophus, you can simply say:
Cat
Lion
Elephant
Orange
Pig
Hat
Unicorn
Sun
