Emma
Short E(1)+M(3)+"uh" sound(1) = 5/3 = 1.67
Patrick
P(10)+Short A(2)+T(8)+R(4)+Short I(1)+K(8) = 35/6 = 5.83
Michael =
M(3)+I(1)+K(8)+uh sound(1)+L(2) = 15/5 = 3
Very Soft Name 1.00
Soft Name 1.5-2.0
Average Name 3.0-3.5

Oh my gosh! How mathematical and great!
Dashiell
D(pretty close to T, so 8) + a(2) + Sh(3) + schwa(1) + L(2) / 5 = 3.2
Ivy
I(1) + v(4) + ee(1) / 3 = 2
Mallory
M(3) + a(2) + L(2) + schwa(1) + R(4) + ee(1) / 6 = 2.1666...
and my name, Maria
M(3) + schwa(1) + R(4) + ee(1) + schwa(1) / 5 = 2
So neat!
