Toy -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Toy your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Toy never ranked higher than position 1,375 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Toy. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1903 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 Toy because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

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

2022 - looking for Toy?

As in the last century, Toy still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Toy who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.

Toy has 3 letters 
and begins with a T

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a quite popular first letter for given names. Because: 6.3% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for given names are A, J and K.

With only three letters, the name Toy is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three letters. 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 6.3% of all first names that begin with an S, this initial letter is much more common than all 26 letters on average.
