Golden has 6 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 particularly common as a first letter for given names: only 2.4% of all common first names in the US begin with a G. The most common initial letters for first names are A and J, while U and X are the least common first letters of given names.

With six letters, the name Golden is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.

This means that if 2.4% of all first names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average.
