Gared – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Gared 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 Gared.

Gared -
something very, very special - even in his home state California!

If you’re looking for someone named Gared, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Gared living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few men and boys named Gared living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Gared and you live outside of California, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in California, the name Gared is not really that common – there are only 5 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all male residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Gared has 5 letters 
and begins with a G

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is not really common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with G. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.

With five letters, the name Gared 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.

That means that with 2.8% of all boys' names beginning with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with G that are quite popular, the most common at present is George.
