Harbour

Harbour is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.

Harbour – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Harbour in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Harbour in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Harbour by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Harbour ranks at #9,241. That means there are 9,240 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.

Harbour has 7 letters 
and begins with an H

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter H is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with H. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With seven letters, the name Harbour 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.

Therefore: As 1.7% of all girls' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the names that begin with an H, Helen is the most common.
