The first name 
Geo

Geo is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.

When two boys called Geo meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Geo is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Geo. In the SmartGenius ranking, Geo is #3,449 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Geo.

Geo -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Geo is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 91 Americans in total bear this name. And these 91 men are located in only five states: California, Illinois, New York, Texas and Washington (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Geo and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Geo in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 272,195 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Geo present.

Geo has 3 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 only three letters, the name Geo is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
