The first name 
Hobert

Hobert is a male first name.

Hobert – a very rare name!

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

Hobert -
quite rare in all states

The odds of having a man or boy named Hobert in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Hobert is registered in 15 states, among which are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Hobert live in Kentucky, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 2,571 men and boys in Kentucky for their name before you meet one who answers with Hobert.

Hobert has 6 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 six letters, the name Hobert 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 2.9% 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.
