Darick is a male first name.
Recently, the name Darick 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 Darick. That means that a boy named Darick 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 Darick.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Darick. Boys named Darick have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,190 Darick ranked higher than ever before in 1978. By comparison, there have been 80 years in which the first name Darick has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Darick only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Darick was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Darick is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 74 Americans in total bear this name. And these 74 men are located in only five states: California, Florida, Maryland, Michigan and New York (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 Darick 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 Darick in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 388,849 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Darick present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 8.5% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J and A are more common for boys' names.
With six letters, the name Darick is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all boys' names start with a D, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the boys’ names starting with D is David.
If your name is Darick 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...
