The first name 
Quintero

Quintero is a first name for boys.

Quintero – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Quintero 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 Quintero. That means that a boy named Quintero is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

You won't believe all there is 
to discover about the name
 
Quintero

Quintero has 8 letters 
and begins with a Q

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 boys' names: only 0.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters X and U are even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common initial letters for boys’ names are J and A.

With eight letters, the name Quintero is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

That means that as 0.8% of all boys' names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average more than five times as often as the Q. Of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a Q, most are also not very common - the most popular currently is the one of Mr. Tarantino.
