What's included in the Gustavo worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital G + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #625; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in v

Gustavo sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “G” on, most of its 7 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The diagonal strokes in “v” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. The tall letter “t” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Gustavo was the #625 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Gustavo tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Gustavo:

G — Start like a capital C — one big open curve — then a short bar in across the middle, like a shelf for the curve to rest on.
u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
v — The same two slants drawn half-size, meeting in a point on the baseline.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Gustavo: “G” and “t” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 7. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Gustavo an even, tidy silhouette.

At seven letters, Gustavo is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 354 of the 965 boys' names.

Gustavo was the #625 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Gustavo

Open each session with “v” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Gustavo feel shorter than it is.
Gustavo is 7 letters, so split early sessions in half: trace the first 4 letters one day and the rest the next, then put the whole name together.
Give Gustavo its height song: “tall, small, small, tall, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided Gustavo on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Gustavo solid and dark.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. At 7 letters, Gustavo is happiest on medium or small lines — the large size is better saved for warming up on one letter at a time.

Number of practice lines

The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.

Does Gustavo have any letters that go below the line?

No — every letter in Gustavo sits between the baseline and the top guide line, with no tails below the line and no dots to add afterward. That makes Gustavo feel especially tidy to trace, and it's a good name for reinforcing consistent letter height early on.

What letter size works best for tracing Gustavo?
