Saxton is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Saxton in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Saxton in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Saxton by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Saxton ranks at #3,744. That means there are 3,743 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 Saxton.
In fact, the name Saxton did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Saxton seemed to be more popular than ever in 2017. Although the name never ranked higher than #3,186, 30 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Saxton, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Saxton was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Saxton a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #3,295 - with a total of 29 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The first name Saxton is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 15 Americans in total bear this name. And these 15 men are located in only three states: Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Saxton and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Saxton in relation to it’s male population is Oklahoma. And yet even there, only one in 445,744 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Saxton present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. Because: 5.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J, A and D.
With six letters, the name Saxton is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
This means that with 5.9% of all boys' names that begin with an S, this first letter is much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the boys’ names starting with S is Steven.
If your name is Saxton 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...
