This page stays with forenames: how they are chosen, counted and constrained. Surnames, nicknames and usernames have their own chapters. Is a given name always the first name? No. In much of East Asia the family name is written first. “Given” means bestowed, not left-to-right order.

Where can I see how common a given name is? SSA (U.S. from 1880), ONS (England and Wales) and Statistics Korea publish counts. Always keep the year on the citation. They can be used as signals. Bertrand and Mullainathan showed U.S. employers treating forenames as racial cues on otherwise identical résumés.
