Robbert – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Robbert 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 Robbert.

Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Robbert.

Robbert -
something very, very special - even in his home state California!

If you’re looking for someone named Robbert, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Robbert 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 Robbert living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Robbert and you live outside of California, 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 California, the name Robbert is not really that common – there are only 5 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all male residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Robbert has 7 letters 
and begins with an R

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is quite common as an initial letter for boys’ names. To be precise, 5.2% of all boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.

With seven letters, the name Robbert 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.

Therefore: As 5.2% of all boys' names start with R, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with an R, Robert is the most common.
