Silver is a unisex first name, but it's given significantly more often to girls than boys.
Few children have been named Silver in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 children are currently called Silver. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Silver at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Silver is number *** on the list of most common first names.
If your name is Silver your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Silver never ranked higher than position 1,694 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their newborn Silver. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1896 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Silver because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Silver was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Silver still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 57 times in the entire U.S. So, a Silver from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a real popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common frist names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, J and K are more common for first names.
With six letters, the name Silver 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.
That means that if 7.7% of all first names start with an S, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Silver 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 Silver, you can simply say:

Igloo
Lion
Violin
