Elridge is a male first name.
Recently, the name Elridge 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 Elridge. That means that a boy named Elridge 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 Elridge.
Is the name Elridge a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1898 – at that time, it landed at position 922 with 5 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Elridge is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Elridge, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Elridge was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Elridge born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn boys with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Elridge born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Elridge, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in Louisiana or Virginia. 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 Elridge living in one state or another. (If your name is Elridge and you live outside of Louisiana and Virginia, 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 41,423 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Elridge. So if your name is Elridge, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Elridge already makes you quite special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 3.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With seven letters, the name Elridge 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.
That means that with 3.8%, E as the first letter in boys' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the boys' names that start with an E, Edward is the most common.
If your name is Elridge 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 Elridge, you can simply say:
Elephant
