The first name 
Wacey

Wacey is a first name for boys.

Wacey – a very rare name!

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

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

The first name Wacey is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 41 Americans in total bear this name. And these 41 men are located in only three states: Arizona, New Mexico and Texas (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 Wacey 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 Wacey in relation to it’s male population is New Mexico. And yet even there, only one in 61,704 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Wacey present.

Wacey has 5 letters 
and begins with a W

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter W is quite rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a W, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, W is by no means the rarest initial. While J, A and D are the most common first letters of boys' names, X, U and Q are the least common initials of feminine first names.

With five letters, the name Wacey is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.

That means that since 1.5% of all boys’ names begin with a W, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. By the way, of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a W, William is currently the most common.
