Lexington is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to girls than to boys.
Few children have been named Lexington in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 children are currently called Lexington. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Lexington at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Lexington is number *** on the list of most common first names.
In fact, the name Lexington did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Lexington seemed to be more popular than ever in 2018. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,625, 152 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Lexington, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lexington was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Lexington a few times. Among all babies it ranked #3,636 - with a total of 97 newborns. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving children with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is quite common as an initial letter for first names. To be precise, 5.5% of all given names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K.
With nine letters, the name Lexington is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 5.5% of all first names start with an L, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Lexington and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
