The first name 
Commodore

Commodore is a male first name.

Commodore – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Commodore 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 Commodore. That means that a boy named Commodore is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

Commodore -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Commodore a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1891 – at that time, it landed at position 609 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 Commodore 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 Commodore, 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 Commodore was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Commodore in 2022 - someone's missing!

If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Commodore born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn boys with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Commodore born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!

Commodore has 9 letters 
and begins with a C

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 nine letters, the name Commodore is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.
