Prophet is a first name for boys.
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 #5,832. That means there are 5,831 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Prophet.
If you’re looking for someone named Prophet, you might want to head to Georgia. Why Georgia of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Prophet living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few men and boys named Prophet living in one state or another, but in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Prophet and you live outside of Georgia, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in Georgia, the name Prophet is not really that common – there are only 5 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00011% of all male residents of Georgia – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!
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.
If your name is Prophet 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 Prophet, you can simply say:
