How many boys are named haven?
1 out of every 1,602 baby girls and 1 out of every 13,681 baby boys born in 2021 are named Haven.I just recently spoke to someone on the phone who had a son named Haven,. My mom babysat a girl named Haven in the 1970s, she was named after her grandfather.
Several girls in my mother’s side of the family are either named Haven or have Haven as a middle name. The funny thing was until reading your comment, I had forgotten who they were named after: My great grandfather Albert, middle name Haven. It’s funny how a generation or two can just suddenly decide a name is feminine instead of masculine.
