The first name 
Cordney

Cordney is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.

Cordney – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Cordney 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 Cordney. That means that a boy named Cordney 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 Cordney.

Cordney -
at home in Tennessee and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Cordney, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Tennessee or Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Cordney living in one state or another. (If your name is Cordney and you live outside of Tennessee and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 685,742 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Cordney. So if your name is Cordney, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Cordney already makes you quite special.

Cordney has 7 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 seven letters, the name Cordney 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.

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.
