Sigurd is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Sigurd in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Sigurd in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Sigurd by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Sigurd ranks at #7,050. That means there are 7,049 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 Sigurd.
The first name Sigurd is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 58 Americans in total bear this name. And these 58 men are located in only four states: Illinois, Minnesota, New York and North Dakota (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 Sigurd 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 Sigurd in relation to it’s male population is Minnesota. And yet even there, only one in 72,613 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Sigurd 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 Sigurd 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 Sigurd 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 Sigurd, you can simply say:
Sun
Igloo
Goat
Unicorn
Rocket
Dinosaur
