Boys' names with W

Only about 1.5 % of boys' first names in the United States begin with the letter W…

This means that the initial W is found much less frequently than average. On average, each letter appears as an initial in about 3.8 % of all boys' names, considering the 26-letter English alphabet. Reality is always different, of course: Some initials appear particularly frequently, while others are much rarer. The most common initials among boys' first names in the United States are J and A, while very few names begin with the letters U and X.

In the US, William is currently the number 1 most popular boys’ name to start with a W. In second and third place are names such as Wyatt and Wesley. A far rarer name starting with W in the US is Wilson.
