Everyone knows him, everyone loves him and still he’s different from the mainstream: Maverick occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the nearly 50,000 different male first names that occur in the USA, only 386 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Maverick is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Maverick is not one of those names that everyone encounters in his neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, captures attention and is something special without being strange or unknown. From Alaska to Florida, a total of 49,153 men and boys of all generations bear the name Maverick – that is one in 3,396. However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in Nevada, where one in 400 men and boys is called Maverick, while it is particularly rare in Rhode Island, where you have to ask an average of 8,993 men for their name to get Maverick as an answer once.
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.

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.
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.
