Deanthony is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents.

Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Deanthony really in tune with his generation.

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 nine letters, the name Deanthony 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.
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.

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...
