The first name 
Vibhav

Vibhav is a first name for boys.

Vibhav – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Vibhav in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Vibhav in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Vibhav by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Vibhav ranks at #6,409. That means there are 6,408 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Vibhav.

Vibhav -
at home in California and New Jersey

Meeting a man or boy named Vibhav is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Vibhav can be found in only two: California and New Jersey. No other state currently has residents named Vibhav. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Vibhav living in one state or another. (If your name is Vibhav and you live outside of California or New Jersey, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Vibhav is in New Jersey, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New Jersey, only 0.00013% of all male residents are called Vibhav – that’s just one in 767,429! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 16 men going by that name. So, if your name is Vibhav, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Vibhav has 6 letters 
and begins with a V

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The V is really rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.3% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a V. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.

With six letters, the name Vibhav 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 1.3% of all boys' names start with a V, all other letters occur on average three times as often as the V. Nevertheless, individual boys' names with V are quite popular, the most common currently being Vincent.
