The first name 
Paco

Paco is a first name for boys.

Paco – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Paco 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 Paco. That means that a boy named Paco 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 Paco.

Paco -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Paco. Boys named Paco have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 2,594 Paco ranked higher than ever in 1968. By comparison, there have been 102 years in which the first name Paco has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Paco only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Paco was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Paco -
at home in

Meeting a man or boy named Paco is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Paco can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Paco. 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 Paco living in one state or another. (If your name is Paco and you live outside of , 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 Paco is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00009% of all male residents are called Paco – that’s just one in 1,088,779! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 15 men going by that name. So, if your name is Paco, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Paco has 4 letters 
and begins with a P

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter P is quite rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with P, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But P is by no means the rarest initial. While X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D.

With four letters, the name Paco 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.

From this follows that if 1.5% of all boys' names begin with a P, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Incidentally, of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a P, Paul is currently the most common.
