The first name 
Vinton

Vinton is a first name for boys.

Vinton – a very rare name!

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

Vinton -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Vinton is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 15 Americans in total bear this name. And these 15 men are located in only three states: California, Iowa and Maine (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Vinton and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Vinton in relation to it’s male population is Maine. And yet even there, only one in 148,342 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Vinton present.

Vinton 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 Vinton 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.
