Fayette -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Fayette your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Fayette never ranked higher than position 1,246 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their newborn Fayette. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1882 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Fayette because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Fayette was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Fayette?

As in the last century, Fayette still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire U.S. So, a Fayette from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Fayette has 7 letters 
and begins with an F

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter F is quite rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.3% of all common first names in the US begin with an F. By the way, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With seven letters, the name Fayette 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 1.5% of all first names begin with an F, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
