KillerQween Report post Posted March 9, 2005 There has been a "discussion" going on, and now I'm very curious....How many players in EL have the real first name of Jake. I know of 3....any others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chintan Report post Posted March 9, 2005 According to the US Census data given here: http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/dist.male.first Jake is the 419th most common male name and 0.025% percent of the male US population has the name Jake. If we assume that the name distribution of potential EL players is about the same as US population, and that there are 1000 players both online and offline, then we expect 0.25 Jakes on average. Also, there is only a 0.22% chance that there will be more than 2 Jakes. It seems EL has an unusually high number of Jakes. Maybe we should try to find out the number of people with the name James, John, or Robert since each of those names makes up over 3% of the US population Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daxon Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I have the 55th most common name.. when used in the shorter form (with no h), I'm #2. I'll remind myself to thank my folks for their originality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyanna Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I found the female list more interesting... never guessed that 'Mary' would be the most popular. Anyway, yay! I'm number #38. -Lyn- (^^ ooh, found this one too... number 1170 on the female list) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earl Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I'm quite confused. People are actually called Earl? It's a name? There are more Earls in the US than there are of my real name. I'm dumfounded. I chose this name as I originally thought I'd stay in the lower end of player society forever and wanted a really pompous name to compensate. I hate trying to think of online names as they eventually always backfire. I was walking around on EL of 8 months with this name... I don't believe it.

Kami Report post Posted March 10, 2005 Gah, #27. I hate my name. That's why I like to be called Kami. Of course, I love rare names, expecially for Girls. For Girls, the rarer the name, the more interesting Life she'll lead. That's why I'm going to Name my Daughters "Epiphany," "Eureka," and "Enigma." :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
