Male is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Male in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Male in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Male by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Male ranks at #4,978. That means there are 4,977 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 Male.
Is the name Male a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1991, when it ranked #631 with 223 newborn boys receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Male is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their son this unusual name. So, if your name is Male, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Male was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names – 6.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With four letters, the name Male is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 with 6.2% of all boys' names that begin with an M, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which boys’ name with M is the most common... the answer is Michael.
If your name is Male 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...
