The first name 
Stratton

Stratton is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.

When two boys called Stratton meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Stratton is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Stratton. In the SmartGenius ranking, Stratton is #2,242 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Stratton.

Stratton -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Stratton 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), Stratton seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,690, 84 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Stratton, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Stratton was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Stratton is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 247 Americans in total bear this name. And these 247 men are located in only five states: Arizona, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas and Utah (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 Stratton 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 Stratton in relation to it’s male population is Utah. And yet even there, only one in 21,276 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Stratton present.

Stratton has 8 letters 
and begins with an S

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 eight letters, the name Stratton is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. 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.
