About the name Grover

Grover spiked exactly once, during the presidency of a man who won the office twice with a gap in the middle, and it has been coasting downhill ever since. A blue Muppet complicated matters further, but the name is soft, leafy and overdue for someone brave to revive it.

Grover is a boy name of Old English origin, pronounced GROH-ver. On the NameRarity scale it scores 95 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1880s.
