Delton is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Delton in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Delton in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Delton by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Delton ranks at #4,192. That means there are 4,191 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 Delton.
The odds of having a man or boy named Delton 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 Delton is registered in 18 states, among which are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida or Indiana. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Delton live in Louisiana, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 16,430 men and boys in Louisiana for their name before you meet one who answers with Delton.
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 Delton 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 Delton 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...
