Worth is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Worth in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Worth in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Worth by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Worth ranks at #6,892. That means there are 6,891 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 Worth.
The first name Worth is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 828 Americans in total bear this name. And these 828 men are located in only five states: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia (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 Worth 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 Worth in relation to it’s male population is North Carolina. And yet even there, only one in 6,098 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Worth present.
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 Worth 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.
If your name is Worth 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Worth, you can simply say:
Windmill
Orange
Rocket
Tiger
