Kagen – one in 100,000!

Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Kagen by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Kagen ranks at #6,683. That means there are 6,682 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 Kagen.
