As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their newborn Quincey. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and kids in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Quincey.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The Q is really rare as a first letter for given names: only 0.6% of all common first names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters U and X are even rarer as the initial letter of first names. By the way, the most common first letters for given names are A and J.
With seven letters, the name Quincey 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.
That means that as 0.6% of all first names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average six times as often as the Q.
