The first name 
Gorge

Gorge is a male first name.

Gorge – a very rare name!

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

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

The first name Gorge is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 1,303 Americans in total bear this name. And these 1,303 men are located in only five states: California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York 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 Gorge 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 Gorge in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 22,130 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Gorge present.

Gorge 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 Gorge 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.

Other names with 
G, o, r, g and e

If you take all the letters in the name Gorge – G, o, r, g and e – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Georg.
