Dedrick is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Dedrick 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 Dedrick. In the SmartGenius ranking, Dedrick is #2,935 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 Dedrick.
The odds of having a man or boy named Dedrick in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Dedrick is registered in 14 states, among which are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Dedrick live in Louisiana, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 6,507 men and boys in Louisiana for their name before you meet one who answers with Dedrick.
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 seven letters, the name Dedrick 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.
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 Dedrick 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...
