Moise is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Moise in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Moise in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Moise by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Moise ranks at #6,305. That means there are 6,304 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 Moise.
Meeting a man or boy named Moise is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Moise can be found in only three: Florida, Louisiana and New York. No other state currently has residents named Moise. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Moise living in one state or another. (If your name is Moise and you live outside of Florida, Louisiana or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Moise is in Louisiana, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Louisiana, only 0.00236% of all male residents are called Moise – that’s just one in 42,351! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 226 men going by that name. So, if your name is Moise, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 five letters, the name Moise is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 Moise 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Moise, you can simply say:
Mouse
Orange
Igloo
Sun
Elephant
