The first name 
Hawke

Hawke is a first name for boys.

Hawke – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Hawke in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Hawke in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Hawke by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Hawke ranks at #5,707. That means there are 5,706 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.

You won't believe all there is

Hawke

Hawke has 5 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 not particularly common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.9% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an H. The most common first letters for boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common first letters of boys' names.

With five letters, the name Hawke 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.

This means that if 2.9% of all boys' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with H and are extremely popular, for example Henry, currently the most common boys’ name with H.
