The first name 
Coulter

Coulter is a male first name.

Coulter – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Coulter in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Coulter in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Coulter by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Coulter ranks at #3,776. That means there are 3,775 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Coulter.

Coulter -
special from day one

In fact, the name Coulter hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Coulter wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1988, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,598, 18 parents chose it in 1988 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Coulter, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Coulter was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Coulter - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Coulter a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 3,639, for a total of 25 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Coulter seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Coulter -
at home in Colorado and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Coulter, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Colorado 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 Coulter living in one state or another. (If your name is Coulter and you live outside of Colorado 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 398,601 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Coulter. So if your name is Coulter, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Coulter already makes you quite special.

Coulter 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 Coulter 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.
