May 2009

So I wasn’t entirely happy with the statistics of yesterday and cleaned up my routines. The two names with ‘?’ in them have been fixed by the devs so I updated my name database to contain these fixes also. Also as promised, I am listing most common names today.

Please comment and ask if you need clarification on something, and if you have suggestions for what kinds of numbers you would like to see… If there’s anyone out there crazy for numbers! ;)

Some (super interesting) statistics and information about names inside Popmundo.

At time of analysis today, my name database contains 363,088 names. Popmundo entry page says 362,992.

42,073 different surnames (lastnames)
13,505 different first names.
3,077 first names that only one character has.

As can be seen, the letter ‘?’ has crept back in into the list, meaning there are broken names in Popo database again. I’ve submitted a bug report to the developers to get them fixed. There’s also a name with an enter/line-break in there, which is also a bug and messes up the entropy calculations.
