Oather is a male first name.
Recently, the name Oather 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 Oather. That means that a boy named Oather is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Oather.
Is the name Oather a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1882 – at that time, it landed at position 816 with 5 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Oather is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Oather, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Oather was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Oather born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn boys with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Oather born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
The first name Oather is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 22 Americans in total bear this name. And these 22 men are located in only four states: Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and West Virginia (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Oather and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Oather in relation to it’s male population is West Virginia. And yet even there, only one in 306,426 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Oather present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter O is pretty rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an O. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With six letters, the name Oather 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 since 1.8% of all boys’ names begin with an O, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names beginning with an O, which are quite popular
If your name is Oather 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 Oather, you can simply say:
