The first name 
Prophet

Prophet is a male first name.

Prophet – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Prophet in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Prophet in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Prophet by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Prophet ranks at #5,400. That means there are 5,399 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 Prophet.

Prophet -
at home in

Meeting a man or boy named Prophet is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Prophet can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Prophet. 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 Prophet living in one state or another. (If your name is Prophet 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 Prophet is in Georgia, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Georgia, only 0.00011% of all male residents are called Prophet – that’s just one in 888,836! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 men going by that name. So, if your name is Prophet, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Prophet has 7 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 seven letters, the name Prophet has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.

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.
