The first name 
Gilmore

Gilmore is a male first name.

Gilmore – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Gilmore 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 Gilmore. That means that a boy named Gilmore 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 Gilmore.

Gilmore -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Gilmore a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 32 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1914 – at that time, it ranked #873. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Gilmore is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their baby boy this unusual name. So, if your name is Gilmore, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

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

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

The first name Gilmore is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 26 Americans in total bear this name. And these 26 men are located in only four states: Alabama, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas (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 Gilmore 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 Gilmore in relation to it’s male population is Alabama. And yet even there, only one in 584,038 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Gilmore present.

Gilmore has 7 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 seven letters, the name Gilmore 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 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.
