The first name 
Timmothy

Timmothy is a first name for boys.

Timmothy – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Timmothy 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 Timmothy. That means that a boy named Timmothy 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 Timmothy.
