Stonewall is a male first name.
Recently, the name Stonewall 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 Stonewall. That means that a boy named Stonewall is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Stonewall.
Is the name Stonewall a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1880 – at that time, it landed at position 583 with 9 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Stonewall is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Stonewall, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Stonewall was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The first name Stonewall is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 22 Americans in total bear this name. And these 22 men are located in only three states: Alabama, Georgia and Virginia (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 Stonewall 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 Stonewall in relation to it’s male population is Virginia. And yet even there, only one in 306,246 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Stonewall 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 nine letters, the name Stonewall is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.
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 Stonewall 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...
