Coulson is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Coulson is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Coulson. In the SmartGenius ranking, Coulson is #3,267 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Coulson.
The first name Coulson is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 28 Americans in total bear this name. And these 28 men are located in only three states: Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Coulson and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Coulson in relation to it’s male population is Ohio. And yet even there, only one in 695,991 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Coulson present.
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 Coulson 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.
If your name is Coulson 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 Coulson, you can simply say:
