Dreux is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Dreux in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Dreux in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Dreux by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Dreux ranks at #4,996. That means there are 4,995 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 Dreux.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Dreux, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Louisiana 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 Dreux living in one state or another. (If your name is Dreux and you live outside of Louisiana 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 245,085 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Dreux. So if your name is Dreux, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Dreux already makes you quite special.
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 five letters, the name Dreux is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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 Dreux 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Dreux, you can simply say:
