You won't believe all there is

Victory -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Victory your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Victory never ranked higher than position 1,320 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Victory. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1918 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 Victory 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 Victory was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Victory?

As in the last century, Victory still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 72 times in the entire U.S. So, a Victory from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Victory has 7 letters 
and begins with a V

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter V is quite rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.5% of all common first names in the US begin with a V. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With seven letters, the name Victory has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 1.5% of all first names begin with a V, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
