The name Vincenzo isn’t among the current fashionable names in our top 10 stats, but nonetheless, it’s still very popular and common. In our SmartGenius ranking of all boys names, Vincenzo ranks 718. Recently, out of every 10,000 newborn boys, approximately 2 were named Vincenzo. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Vincenzo.
You may not know anyone named Vincenzo, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 26 states are home to men and boys named Vincenzo. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Vincenzo living in one state or another. If your name is Vincenzo and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In New Jersey, which has the most people named Vincenzo relative to the population, you still have to ask 5,238 men and boys their names before you hear Vincenzo as an answer just once.
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 eight letters, the name Vincenzo 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.
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.
If your name is Vincenzo and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
