Kester

Kester is a male first name.

Kester – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Kester 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 Kester. That means that a boy named Kester is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

Kester -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Kester. Boys named Kester have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,448 Kester ranked higher than ever in 1915. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Kester has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Kester only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kester was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Kester has 6 letters 
and begins with a K

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 7.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J, A and D are more common for boys' names.

With six letters, the name Kester 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.

That means that if 7.9% of all boys' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the boys’ names that begin with a K, Kenneth is the most common.
