The first name 
Jayke

Jayke is a first name for boys.

Jayke – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Jayke in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jayke in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Jayke by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Jayke ranks at #6,442. That means there are 6,441 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jayke.

Jayke -
at home in California and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Jayke, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Jayke living in one state or another. (If your name is Jayke and you live outside of California and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 812,379 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Jayke. So if your name is Jayke, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Jayke already makes you quite special.

Jayke has 5 letters 
and begins with a J

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is the most popular first letter for boys’ names. 10.1% of all common boys’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in boys’ names is A.

With five letters, the name Jayke 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 if 10.1% of all boys’ names start with a J, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the boys’ names that begin with the letter J, the name James is the most common.

Other names with
