About 5. 9 % of all boys' first names in the United States begin with the letter S...
This makes the initial S a great deal more common than average: As there's 26 letters in the alphabet, each letter appears as an initial in about 3.8 % of all boys' first names. The distribution of initial letters is undoubtedly uneven – after all, some letters occur much more frequently, while others are much less frequent. In the US, the most common initials among boys' first names are J and A, while the letters U and X, on the other hand, are initials for very few names.
In the US, the most common boys’ name with the initial S is Samuel. Recently in the United States, about 0,6 % has been named Samuel. Other well-known names with an S are Sebastian and Silas. The name Scott, on the other hand, is also well known in the US and has been used occasionally in recent years, but is generally still quite rare.
